Recently, the Pioneer Woman posted about making cinnamon toast the right way and I knew I wanted to try it. Then yesterday, Beth (Beth's Favorite Recipes) posted it and said it was the BEST so this morning I just had to try it.
Let me just say...they are right! Without knowing it I have totally been making cinnamon toast the wrong way for many years. According to PW I have been using approach #3 which is the worst cinnamon toast on earth :) This tastes so good and had such a good crunch on top - just plain delicious.
I didn't have any mexican vanilla as PW suggests but used some "real" vanilla as well as the best cinnamon out there. I received some Penzey's spices as a gift from my friend, Jayne, we use a lot of cinnamon in our house and there is no comparsion to the store brands.

Poor Jeff missed it! I love cinnamon toast any which way, right or wrong! Yours looks so good, Marsha, I just may have to make it now! I just ordered more cinnamon from Penzey's, Jayne is a peach, that is good stuff :)
Marsha, first of all, what a pretty, pretty table! Love those dishes. Glad you like that cinnamon so much. Me too and now I buy the big jar since I use a lot of it. BTW, I know that toast is good...that's how my Mom made it when I was growing up. I loved it! Jeff will too when you make it for him.
Marsha, what a perfect table setting for breakfast for one! The toast sounds wonderful!
I guess I've been making it wrong for years too! It's one of my childhood favorites and will have to try the oven version - it sounds wonderful and looks beautiful surrounded by birds and blooms ;)
