Enjoy the golden slices as they bring a touch of nostalgia and homemade goodness to your kitchen table. This simple treat combines the warmth of cinnamon and the richness of butter, bringing a comforting aroma and delightful crunch with every bite.

Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 1/4 cup (56g) salted butter softened*
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place your bread on a broiler-safe ungreased, unlined baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Use a fork to stir until the mixture forms a paste that is uniform in color.
- Divide the cinnamon butter mixture evenly between the pieces of bread and spread it over the slices from edge to edge, completely covering each piece.
- Place baking sheet on the top or center rack of your oven (you want it in the top half of your oven, but at least 5 inches from the broiler so your bread doesn’t burn). Bake for 10 minutes or until bread is lightly crispy.
- Turn the broiler on high and broil toast until cinnamon sugar is bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. If at any time the edges of your toast begin to burn, pull them out of the oven. DO NOT walk away from your toast under the broiler and watch it closely.
- Allow the toast to cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks
- Blend the cinnamon and sugar thoroughly to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Spread softened butter on the bread so that it’s easier to apply and doesn’t tear the bread. The butter should be at room temperature.
- A sturdy bread like a slice from a homemade loaf or thick-sliced pre-packaged bread holds up better under the weight of butter and sugar
