French toast sticks are one of those breakfasts that just feel fun. They’re crispy, dippable, and way more exciting than a regular slice of French toast—especially for kids. The best part? You can make them at home with simple ingredients in just minutes.

If you’ve ever relied on frozen French toast sticks, this homemade version is about to become your new favorite. They’re soft and custardy inside, golden on the outside, and perfect for dunking in syrup, powdered sugar, or even a little chocolate sauce.

In high school local fast food places started pushing “French toast sticks” and I’ll tell you what, half the student body rolled in every morning with them. I was from an eat-at-home family so I never indulged which means I just had to make it happen for my own kids to relive my childhood.

What are French Toast Sticks?

French toast sticks are sort of like giant French toast French fries. They are long, thin pieces of bread that are dipped in an egg mixture and baked so that you can pick them up and dip them. They are often deep fried, but we just bake ours which makes them a little healthier. Kids go wild for French toast sticks!

Sweet Cream Biscuits are a flaky biscuit made with heavy cream! This is the BEST biscuit you’ll ever make – completely from scratch and very easy to make. Using simple ingredients like flour, butter, baking powder, sugar and cream you’ll be busting out tender biscuits for Sunday brunch every weekend!

My favorite way to enjoy these biscuits is to make my famous strawberry shortcake (I have the easiest tip for the strawberries that makes strawberry shortcake the best summer dessert!) or with a little swipe of freezer jam on a lazy weekend morning.

Why This Recipe Won’t Fail

Cream Biscuits are the perfect biscuit, especially if you’re not used to making biscuits from scratch. They’ve got a sugary, crunchy outside and a soft and fluffy inside.

The heavy cream makes the difference! The fat from heavy cream makes these biscuits soft and moist because the water doesn’t evaporate out as quickly as milk.

Unsalted Butter is king!! During baking, the water in the butter evaporates into steam, this steam leaves behind air pockets that contribute to the craveable flaky texture of a biscuit! 

Ingredients in Southern Sweet Cream Biscuits

• Heavy Whipping Cream: This is one of the most important ingredients in a sweet cream biscuit. It adds liquid to combine the dry ingredients AND adds fat required for a tender and moist biscuit.
• Flour: I always use all purpose flour because it’s simple and has the correct protein for a flaky biscuit. See below for self rising substitute.
• Sugar: We are making sweet biscuits so a hint of sweet is essential. I especially love the crunchy texture on top with the sanding or turbinado sugar.
• Baking Powder: Give those babies height!
• Butter: Bringing the fat and the chemistry behind flaky layers.
• Egg: Adds a little richness so the biscuits bake up soft and tender.
• Salt: Just enough to balance the sweetness and bring out the flavor.
• Egg White: Brushed on top for that pretty golden shine.
• Sanding Sugar: The sparkling, sweet crunch that makes them feel extra special.

How to Make Sweet Cream Biscuits

1. Prep: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk: Whisk together the dry ingredients.
3. Toss: Toss the butter in the dry ingredient until well coated. Use a pastry cutter to mix in the butter.
4. Cream: Beat the egg into the heavy cream and stir into the dry ingredients until combined. Mixture will be wet.
5. Fold and Press: Turn the dough out onto a floured
