Finnish Cinnamon Toast Recipes

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:

• Thoroughly beat together eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixed well. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
• Add milk and mix again.
• Place a small pat of butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium low heat. Once butter has melted dip bread into the egg/milk mixture. Just do a quick dip to coat the bread. Place bread into the pan. I usually work with three slices at a time.
• Place another small pat of butter in the pan. Once the butter has melted flip the bread over. This allows both sides of the bread to get that yummy buttery flavor.
• Continue to cook until both sides are browned nicely. Place finished slices in the oven while you cook the rest.
• Beat the mixture each time before dipping the bread. This brings the cinnamon up from the bottom of the bowl.

Steps:

• Beat eggs with wire whisk until foamy.
• Add milk, cinnamon and vanilla; Beat well.
• Spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. You can also use a griddle set at 375.
• Dip bread into batter and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Whisk the batter before you dip each slice to distribute the cinnamon.
• These can be made low fat by replacing the eggs with 4 whites or 1/2 cup egg substitute and using fat free milk. I usually double the recipe and refrigerate (up to a week) or freeze (2 months) the leftovers.

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.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in very warm water, about 110 to 115 degrees. Bring milk, margarine, 1/2 cup sugar and salt just to boiling over medium-low heat; cool. Stir in yeast mixture. Add eggs and 9 cups flour. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 to 10 minutes, adding additional flour if sticky; let rise until double in bulk. Form into 6 loaves, about 8 inches long; let rise for one hour. Arrange on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes; cool. Slice bread 1/2-inch thick. Mix together remaining sugar and cinnamon; dip each slice into sugar mixture. Return to baking sheet and bake until crisp and golden, turning occasionally. Store in a paper bag. To serve, butter several slices and place in a bowl; top with hot milk. Tip: Sprinkle a few drops of hot water on your forearm...if it doesn't feel too hot or too cold, it's just the right temperature for dissolving yeast.
