Ingredients
Bread
- 4 slices sandwich bread (any variety, hearty wheat is excellent)
Cinnamon Sugar Butter
- 1/4 cup (56g) salted butter, softened*
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place your bread slices, in a single layer, on an ungreased, unlined broiler-safe baking sheet.
- Prepare Cinnamon Butter – In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with a fork until you have a uniform, spreadable paste.
- Spread Mixture – Divide the cinnamon butter evenly among the bread slices. Spread completely from edge to edge to ensure every bite is flavorful and avoid uncoated corners.
- Bake the Toast – Place the baking sheet in the top or center rack of your oven (the top half, but at least 5 inches from the broiler). Bake for 10 minutes, or until the bread becomes lightly crispy.
- Broil to Finish – Turn your oven broiler to high and broil the toast for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cinnamon sugar is bubbling. Watch very closely: if the edges begin to darken, remove immediately to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve – Allow the toast to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor!
Notes
- *If substituting unsalted butter, add 1/8 teaspoon table salt with the sugar and cinnamon.
- Any sliced sandwich bread will work; for extra flavor and texture, use hearty wheat bread.
- Don’t step away while broiling—the sugar mixture can burn quickly!
