Timeless Classic Cinnamon Toast Delight
I will never forget my dad making the best cinnamon toast for us growing up. Back then we didn’t have an air fryer, a toaster oven, or Texas toast bread. We didn’t use brown sugar or a cinnamon sugar mixture.
We placed a slice of white bread on a cookie sheet or baking sheet. With six of us enjoying it, we fondly referred to it as “milk toast.” It reminded us of these delicious pancakes or French toast on homemade bread with a large cup of milk on the side.
The first time my dad made me toast like this, it instantly became my favorite kind of bread. At first I thought it was a dessert.
It was the classic old-fashioned cinnamon toast, and as a kid, it was the ultimate treat. Even now, this cinnamon sugar toast remains one of my top go-to breakfast recipes.
Sure, you can buy the ingredients for the cinnamon butter mixture at the store, but there’s something special about the original recipe. In my daughter’s home economics class, home economics class a lot of people found it to be a great comfort food. It’s truly a breakfast that holds a special place in my heart.
Secrets Revealed: Tips and Tricks for Making Cinnamon Toast
For this recipe, you can use a toaster or try a neat trick! Instead of a toaster, you can place the oven rack as high as it goes in the oven and toast the bread directly on it. Just lay the slices of bread side by side and set the oven temperature to 400 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes. When they’re golden brown, carefully use pot holders to pull the oven rack out and flip each piece of bread with a fork. But hey, if you’ve got a toaster, that’s even quicker—just pop a slice of toast in and you’re good to go!
As the bread is toasting, gather these ingredients:
- Margarine
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Table Knife
- Spoon
Once the toast pops up, swiftly spread margarine over the warm slices. Next, sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of sugar and a dash of cinnamon over each piece of bread. Enjoy this delectable treat warm or cold! It is easy to reheat or throw a slice of bread together stick it in a ziplock bag and take on the road with you!
End of This Post for a Quick Snack
The first day I ate this my brother told me to add a pinch of salt. I think he was mistaken for a teaspoon ground cinnamon he was 8. He also loved to eat a cookie, bread slice with unsalted butter, a mix of sugar, and fresh fruit all at the same time. He was a tricky little thing, lol.
Sometimes when you are a kid some of the best things that make a special breakfast is a little bit of love, a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and a couple of minutes hanging out with your mom or dad pretending to be on the Pioneer woman show for 2-3 minutes making a sweet treat!
So grab some white sugar, hot milk or cold milk, whichever you prefer, some toasted bread, and take your first bite of these delicious cinnamon toast snacks! An easy snack idea for Youth group, Bible Study, Sunday school, VBS, or an after school snack idea!
