Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Butter Spread
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, well softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Toast
- 4 slices bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cinnamon buttered bread.
- Make the cinnamon butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until it forms a smooth, spreadable paste.
- Spread on bread: Evenly spread the cinnamon butter mixture over one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage up to the edges for an even flavor layer.
- Bake the toast: Place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. This step helps the butter melt into the bread and the sugar to dissolve slightly.
- Broil for caramelization: Turn on the broiler and broil the toast until the surface is deep golden brown and the sugar bubbles, which usually takes a few minutes. Keep a close eye on it and leave the oven door slightly open to prevent burning.
- Serve: Optionally slice the toast in halves for easy serving and enjoy immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Use bread that is slightly firm to handle the butter spread better without sogginess.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a drop of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg to the cinnamon butter.
- Watch closely during broiling as the sugar can burn quickly.
- Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster oven for crispiness.
