Are you scratching your head over what to do with those leftover hotdog buns?

A resourceful foodie has unveiled a brilliant trick to turn those spare buns into a culinary delight, making sure they don't go to waste. The kitchen guru, known on TikTok as fitwaffle, shared a tantalising recipe that puts a spin on traditional French toast.

In her latest video, the inventive chef reveals: "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)."

She then guides viewers through the process of soaking the bun quarters in the egg, milk, and vanilla concoction, ensuring excess liquid drains off. Next up, she recommends melting some butter in a pan and cooking the miniatures until they take on a delightful golden hue.

The piece de resistance, she suggests, is to concoct a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture to sprinkle atop the toast for a crunchy, sugary finishing touch.

Adopting this technique, as promised by the shrewd cook, will result in "soft and doughy" bites that appear absolutely mouth-watering. Not just a treat for the taste buds, this clever trick is an exceptional way to use up food that might otherwise be discarded.

Since the clever culinary hack was shared online, it's garnered over 90,000 likes, with hordes of food enthusiasts expressing their wonder. Many are eager to try it out for themselves.

One admirer commented: "Amazing idea. Also, I love your vids." While another said: "I tried this. It's the easiest thing to do and it's delicious. I even have your no-bake baking book - it's amazing."

A third fan exclaimed: "You, madam, are an absolute genius." As a fourth added: "Never thought to try with hotdog buns, and my kids loved it. Thanks! ".
