Cinnamon Toast Deluxe Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon together well; set aside.
• Butter one side of the bread and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• (You will probably have more cinnamon sugar than you need; save remainder for another use.).
• If desired, repeat on the other side of the bread with more butter or margarine and cinnamon sugar.
• Heat a skillet on medium heat.
• Lay the prepared bread slices on the hot skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bread is nicely carmelized; be careful not to burn the bread.
• If you have only prepared one side of the bread, turn for about 30 seconds or so until just lightly browned; serve.
• If you have prepared both sides of the bread, turn and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until that side is nicely carmelized and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Make the cinnamon syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cinnamon sticks, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) water and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cinnamon is very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool (the syrup can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks).
• 2. Make the toast: Using 3-4 tablespoons of the butter, coat both sides of each piece of bread. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet (frying pan) over medium heat. Place the bread in the skillet and set a large heat-safe plate or cake pan on top of the bread--it should fit inside the skillet. If the plate isn't very heavy, weigh it down with a few cans of beans or tomatoes. Cook until the bread is golden brown, 2-3 minutes (weighting the bread helps the entire surface area of the crumb come into contact with the hot fat and the hot pan, ensuring a nice even golden-brown toast). Remove the weights and the plate and flip the bread over, then continue to brown the second side, about 1 1/2-2 minutes longer. Brush a generous amount of cinnamon syrup over one side of each slice (add enough syrup to saturate the bread without making it soggy).
• 3. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon until combined, then transfer all but 2 teaspoons of it to a plate. Dip each piece of toast, syrup side down, in the cinnamon sugar.
• 4. In a large skillet (frying pan), melt the remaining 2-3 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and place the toast, sugared side down, in the skillet. Set a large heat-safe plate on top of the toast to press it down (place one or two cans of beans on top to weight it down). Cook until the edges of the bread are caramelized and the sugar is completely melted and glistening across the surface of the bread, 3-4 minutes.
• 5. Serve each slice of toast caramelized side up and sprinkled with some of the reserved cinnamon sugar and, if desired, confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Use a toaster to toast the bread to desired darkness. Spread butter or margarine onto one side of each slice. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle generously over hot buttered toast.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Smush the softened butter with a fork. Dump in the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir to completely combine. Spread the mixture on the bread slices, completely covering the surfaces all the way to the edges.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubbling. Watch so it doesn't burn!
• Cut the slices into halves diagonally and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl until very well combined and no visible egg white remains. Pour the mixture into an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and when it melts, swirl to coat the skillet.
• Put 2 slices of bread at a time in the custard until moistened through, about 10 seconds on each side for the thicker bread and 5 seconds for the thinner sandwich bread.
• When the butter begins to sizzle, transfer the soaked slices to the skillet and cook until the custard is heated through and the slices are very golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and hold in the oven while you repeat with the remaining butter, bread and custard.
• To serve, fan out the slices on a platter or individual plates and dust with confectioners' sugar and additional cinnamon. Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Steps:

• Please note that both ~Tasty~ and I estimated the amount of ingredients for the spice mixture. Adjust accordingly to your preference.
• Tip: if you can't find vanilla powder, substitute 1-2 drops of real vanilla extract and stir it into softened butter.
• In a small bowl combine the English mixed spice, vanilla powder and sugar of choice.
• Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
• To make the Deluxe Cinnamon Toast: Spread butter on a slice of bread (crumpet, whole wheat, etc.) Tip: if your butter is not to room temperature-no worries! Just place a few pieces of the hard butter on the bread. It will melt into the bread as it toasts.
• Sprinkle about a scant one half teaspoon of the spice mixture on the bread.
• Toast until browned and sizzling but being careful not to burn the bread!
• PS I use a toaster which browns bread horizontally which means the butter doesn't drip down into the heating element. It is not recommended to use a toaster that toasts bread vertically to avoid the butter dripping into the mechanism-(thus in the process destroying your coveted Mickey Mouse Toaster). An oven will work.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
• Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
• Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.
