When the second side is golden brown, generously sprinkle cinnamon and sugar onto each piece and flip again. Let the sugar caramelize for 30 second to 1 minute; repeat process on the other side. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate; repeat process with remaining butter, battered bread and cinnamon sugar, two slices at a time.
