Instructions:
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
Ensure you have all the ingredients handy before you start. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if using the oven method.
Step 2: Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1-2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, adjusting to your taste preferences. Set this mixture aside.
Step 3: Toast the Bread
Toast the bread slices until they’re golden brown and crisp. You can use a toaster or arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 4: Butter the Toast
Once the bread is toasted, use a butter knife or spatula to spread a generous amount of softened butter on one side of each slice while they’re still warm. The warmth of the toast helps the butter melt and spread evenly.
