The Best Cinnamon Toast Recipe

Cinnamon butter

1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. If you like, you can add any of the optional ingredients as well.
3. Using a teaspoon, gently mash the butter along with the sugar and cinnamon. Add any other optional add-ins. Mix until well combined. Set aside until needed.

Cinnamon toast

1. Line a wire rack or baking tray with parchment paper or a silpat.
2. For one sided toast - lightly butter one side of the bread slice. Spread an even, thin layer of cinnamon sugar butter on the other side, making sure to get the edges as well.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium - medium high heat.
4. When the pan is hot, place the bread with the buttered side down. Toast the bread for about 4 minutes, or until that side is caramelized and slightly toasted.
5. Flip the bread over and caramelize the toast on the cinnamon buttered side. After about a minute, gently move the cinnamon toast around on the non-stick pan in small circles to mop up any excess butter and sugar on the pan. Toast for about 3 - 4 minutes, until the sugar has caramelized and darkened in color. Make sure to not burn the sugar or the toast!
6. When the cinnamon toast is ready, place it on the parchment paper-lined tray, with the caramelized side down. Let it cool slightly, for the caramel to harden. Otherwise the caramel will be too soft and sticky.
7. For two sided toast - spread an even, thin layer of cinnamon sugar butter on both sides of the bread, making sure to get the edges as well.
8. Heat a non-stick pan over medium - medium high heat.
9. When the pan is hot, place the bread in the pan. The butter will start to melt, and puddle around the toast. After about a minute, gently move the cinnamon toast around on the non-stick pan in small circles to mop up the excess butter and sugar on the pan. Toast for about 3 - 4 minutes, or until the sugar has caramelized and darkened in color. Make sure to not burn the toast. Flip the toast over and repeat on the other side.
10. When the toast is caramelized on both sides, place it on the parchment paper-lined tray with the presentation side (serving side) down. Let it cool slightly, for the caramel to harden. Otherwise the caramel will be too soft and sticky.
