Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Slices of bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches below the element.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (if using). Set aside.
Optional: To elevate the flavor, stir the vanilla extract into the softened butter until well combined.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Sprinkle a generous layer of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side of each slice, pressing gently to help it adhere.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, buttered side facing up.
Broil the bread for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cinnamon toast cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the topping to set.
Slice each piece diagonally if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Cinnamon Toast Delight!
