-- Tasty's -- Deluxe Cinnamon Toast

Total Time: 8 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 3 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon english mixed spice (see mixed spice - traditional old fashioned english pudding spice)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
• 1/4 cup sugar (raw, demerara, unbleached cane sugar, etc.) or 1/4 cup powdered sugar (raw, demerara, unbleached cane sugar, etc.)
• butter
• bread

Recipe

• 1 please note that both ~tasty~ and i estimated the amount of ingredients for the spice mixture. adjust accordingly to your preference.
• 2 tip: if you can't find vanilla powder, substitute 1-2 drops of real vanilla extract and stir it into softened butter.
• 3 in a small bowl combine the english mixed spice, vanilla powder and sugar of choice.
• 4 store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
• 5 to make the deluxe cinnamon toast: spread butter on a slice of bread (crumpet, whole wheat, etc.) tip: if your butter is not to room temperature-no worries! just place a few pieces of the hard butter on the bread. it will melt into the bread as it toasts.
• 6 sprinkle about a scant one half teaspoon of the spice mixture on the bread.
• 7 toast until browned and sizzling but being careful not to burn the bread!
• 8 ps i use a toaster which browns bread horizontally which means the butter doesn't drip down into the heating element. it is not recommended to use a toaster that toasts bread vertically to avoid the butter dripping into the mechanism-(thus in the process destroying your coveted mickey mouse toaster). an oven will work.
