Elise Bauer is the blog author and her site has wonderful recipes for the home-cook.
Her blog has even won an award or two. I suggest you check it out, if you are not familiar with it already.
She had a simply post that day.....about "cinnamon toast".
Yes, Cinnamon Toast.
The simplest thing on the planet, right? But try "googling" it.... there are tons of sights on Cinnamon toast. Opinions, stories, memories. On Cinnamon toast.
Elise's post made me hungry for it, so I made it this morning for breakfast.
2 pieces of cinnamon toast and a cup of coffee with peppermint mocha creamer (which will soon be gone until the next holiday season. love those seasonal coffee creamers!).
Yum!
I bought "Cracked Wheat" bread. The Handyman didn't have any cinnamon toast this morning, because he said it is only good made with "white bread".
Some Cinnamon Toast Tips I got off the internet:
Cinnamon Toast Tips
Vietnamese or Saigon cinnamon is considered the "best" cinnamon.
Try different types of bread for different flavors.
You can use brown sugar with or instead of granulated sugar.
You can make and store your own cinnamon sugar.
Cinnamon sugar butter is easy to make and will store for three weeks.
What You'll Need
In order to make cinnamon toast you will need some type of toasting device. This can be a toaster, a toaster oven or a broiler. You will also need the following ingredients:
Cinnamon: Any variety will suffice.
Sugar: Can be granulated or powdered.
Butter or Margarine: Any type of salted or unsalted butter or margarine will do
Bread: White bread is the traditional choice. However, whole wheat or French bread are also good options.
Because I was curious, I posed a question to my friends...my "Friday Friends". Those friends that I have an e-mail forum with (for, because of... ???) (and whom my blog is named in honor of...)
I just sent out a quick e-mail and asked:
Cinnamon Toast!
are you a fan or not?
So, I'm posing the question to you too....
Cinnamon Toast

here is what the Friday Friends said ( I figure they need a little billing sometime..... so, here they are, on cinnamon toast.

I Love Cinnamon Toast!!!
I love it! I do make it different than you have made it here though. I was taught to butter the bread before toasting, then sprinkile the cinnamon sugar mixture on and then put it under the broiler until bubbly and browned on the top. This cooks the sugar and butter and gives that crunchy caramel taste to it. OH so good!
I'm a fan! I used to keep a little plastic container with the sugar & cinnamon mixed up and ready to use. My daughter took it with her when she got married :)
This use to be our after-school snack when I was a child.
i used to have this for breakfast every morning when i was younger. i will have to revisit this delicious treat!
I am a huge fan of cinnamon toast. My kids too!!
I love it! I usually don't eat it for breakfast though. For me, it's a sweet snack.
YES...most definitely!
