Recipe Introduction

"This is one of the biggest throwbacks of my entire childhood�really one of those clich�s that my mom used to make me as a kid. But this stuff is...for lack of a better term...a perfect food. Thank you, Mom, for all the times you made this for me. It made bad days turn into great days and taught me the power of a simple recipe, and I still crave it to this day! This makes a big batch of cinnamon-sugar for you to keep in your pantry to use when you need it."

List of Ingredients

Cinnamon-Sugar:
◦ � cup granulated sugar
◦ � cup firmly packed light brown sugar
◦ 1 � tablespoons ground cinnamon
◦ � teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)

◦ 4 thick slices sandwich-style bread
◦ 6 tablespoons salted butter, softened



Recipe

Make the cinnamon-sugar: In a small airtight container or jar, thoroughly mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). This will keep for a very long time in the pantry.

Toast the bread in a toaster to your desired color. Immediately butter with 1 � tablespoons butter per slice.

Before the butter completely melts, sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar. Slice on the diagonal. Enjoy and savor every single nostalgic bite while hot.

Serves 2






❧ Notes:

� I recommend using a whole, unsliced loaf for this and slicing the bread yourself so you can get nice, thick slices

� To change up the flavors, you can first brown the butter and then brush it on, or you can add a dollop of whipped mascarpone on top of each slice of toast.
