In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the water, sugar,

peel. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5
minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly

In another large shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites or egg

ground cinnamon. Add the bread and let soak, turning once or twice,
for 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Coat a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick
spray.

Arrange the bread on the prepared baking sheet. Coat the tops with
nonstick spray. Bake for 10 minutes per side, or until nicely browned
and crisp. Transfer the bread to a rack to cool.

Transfer the bread to the bowl with the syrup. Let soak, turning once
or twice, for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick,
cloves, and lemon peel.

Transfer 1 slice into a small shallow serving bowl and spoon a little
syrup and some raisins on top. Repeat with the remaining slices.

PILONCILLO (panela; rapadura). Mexican piloncillo — pressed,
unrefined dark brown sugar — usually comes molded in pyramid-shaped
chunks. It’s used for making desserts and syrup. It’s harder than
north American dark brown sugar, but the latter can be used as a
substitute. To use piloncillo, grate it on a hand grater before
measuring.

Notes: Caballeros pobres: “I’ve always loved the name of this Mexican
dessert, literally, “poor horseman.” It’s a sort of French toast
(actually, deep-fried bread) that’s sewed in spice-scented syrup. To
make a heart-healthy version, I use egg whites instead of egg yolks
in the batter and crisp the bread in the oven instead of the
deep-fryer.” -SR
