Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 4 slices Bread Slices (preferably white or milk bread)
Instructions
1. Begin by toasting the bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet for a golden-brown finish.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally to ensure the sugar and butter fully dissolve.
3. Once the milk mixture begins to simmer gently (do not let it boil), reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon. Let the mixture cook for another minute, then remove it from the heat.
4. Arrange the toasted bread slices in shallow bowls or on plates. Carefully pour the warm milk mixture over the toast, ensuring each slice is evenly coated and soaked.
5. Let the toast sit for about a minute to absorb the milk. Serve warm, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
