Cinnamon Toast the Right Way!


I was so excited when I came across this today!!!
So, earlier this week, I decided to be extra adventurous and made cinnamon toast for the family for breakfast one morning. Mmm.... was it ever good. I did it the same way my mom used to make it when I grew up - by mixing the softened butter with the cinnamon and sugar, THEN spreading it on the bread before throwing it the oven to cook.
Two days later, Kevin was up early and decided to make cinnamon toast for us for breakfast (I know! Great, right?) However, I came out to the kitchen to find that he had gone about it all wrong! There was no spreadable cinnamon sugar mixture, but instead, he had toasted the bread, and put butter on it so the butter would melt. He then mixed together milk, cinnamon and sugar in a cup, and spread/poured that on top of the already toasted bread, and THEN put it in the oven to cook.
There was no way that this toast was going to taste as good as the tested recipe that I grew up with, so I kindly voiced that there might be some things that he could do to improve his cinnamon toast making skills... very kindly - I mean, he was making me breakfast, and I'll never discourage that. Kevin had me wait to try his creation before giving it a no, though, and it really wasn't too bad (but how bad can it get when butter and sugar are involved). We both left the house still under the impression that our method of cinnamon toast making was more correct.
...SO, I think it is great that someone else has already analyzed and tested the different cinnamon toast recips, and come to a conclusion... guess you have to follow the link to find out what the REAL best recipe is for cinnamon toast (and find out who was more correct).
OR
Let me know how you make your cinnamon toast so I can give it a try. Maybe there's a recipe that hasn't been tested yet.

  1. Haha!! Loved this post! I was actually craving mom's good ol' cinnamon toast a couple weeks ago, but no one else ate any so I had to eat all 4 pieces by myself (I'm so hard done by, eh?!!) I never knew there were other ways to make cinnamon toast but I knew mom's was always the best ;) I might just go make some more for myself right now ...
