Comforts of Childhood

Do you have those go-to childhood food favs that you just cannot live without?  Meatloaf, roast beef, homemade mac n' cheese...or even just a simple slice or two of cinnamon toast?  Growing up in our household, cinnamon toast used to be a routine breakfast food.  Now-a-days, we like to throw it together when we're feeling snacky (and there's no ice cream around).  So simple and easy, and the more butter and sugar the better! ;)

WHAT YOU NEED:

Bread
Margarine/Butter
Ground Cinnamon

Granulated Sugar

Baking Sheet

Broiler

WHAT TO DO:

Preheat broiler.

Take a slice or two of bread
LIBERALLY spread the top side with butter or margarine.

Sprinkle cinnamon pretty heavy handed-ly
over the buttered bread - but not a solid covering.

To prevent sugar spillage,
place the semi-prepared slices on a baking sheet covered with parchment or foil
and completely cover the bread with sugar.

Place the bread covered baking sheet under the broiler
and watch carefully.
Watch for the sugar and butter to melt into each other
and then will begin to bubble - wait for it to become golden
and remove from the oven.
If you like it more crunchy go for a darker golden brown.

Floppy?  Then broil to a light golden color.

Side note:  You must resist the urge to eat immediately.

If you do, the lining in your mouth will melt away.

Allow the toast to sit a few minutes and then
feel free to devour.
DEEELISH.

Pour up an ice cold glass of milk and....instant comfort food.

I can still remember introducing cinnamon toast
to the girls when they were itty bitty.  So fun.

A tried and true tradition that can't be beat.

ENJOY!
