Don't throw out stale hotdog buns – there's way to make them delicious again
If you often have spare hotdog buns lying around, a woman urges you not to throw them away. Instead, you can whip up something pretty tasty.
When you make hotdogs, you're often left with extra buns that you don't know what to do with.
More often than not, the leftovers can turn stale, but you don't have to throw them away. In fact, according to a clever cook, you can use them to whip up something pretty delicious.
The food guru, known as fitwaffle on TikTok, shared a simple recipe to completely tranform your buns within minutes. If you're a fan of French toast then today is your lucky day.
In a candid video, she said: "If you've ever got any leftover hotdog buns, you've got to make this French toast. Just slice your hotdog buns into quarters so they look like mini slices of bread. So cute. Then crack two eggs into a bowl, and whisk with milk (80ml) and vanilla (one teaspoon)."

From here you can dip the bread into the mixture, while being sure to remove any excess. Next, all you need to do is melt some butter in a pan, and toast the little slices on each side until golden.
To make the coating, simply mix some sugar together with a little cinnamon. Once combined you can use it to coat the bread, and add a lovely crunchy, sweet layer.
According to the savvy cook, this will leave you with "soft and doughy" parcels, and it's fair to say they look super delicious. By doing this, you make something super tasty out of food you would normally throw away.
Bearing in mind this cuts back on waste, as well as providing you with a super decadent breakfast, we'd call the idea a win. Who knew bringing stale bread back to life could be so simple?
