Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is well-blended, creating a balanced and aromatic sprinkle that will soon coat the toast. -
Butter the Bread
Take one slice of bread and spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side. Make sure the butter reaches all edges so the cinnamon sugar will stick perfectly. -
Add the Cinnamon Sugar
Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered side of the bread. If you’d like an extra-sweet, fully coated toast, turn the slice over, butter the opposite side, and repeat with the cinnamon sugar mixture on that side. -
Heat the Skillet
Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once it’s warmed up, lay the prepared bread slice (buttered and sugared side down) on the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 to 3 minutes until the sugar begins to caramelize, giving the toast a golden, slightly crispy crust. Be sure to keep a close eye on the toast to prevent burning. -
Flip and Finish Cooking
If you’ve buttered and sugared only one side, flip the bread and toast the other side lightly for 30 seconds to 1 minute until it’s just golden. If both sides have been prepared, allow the second side to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until caramelized. -
Serve Warm
Remove the toast from the skillet and serve immediately. This Cinnamon Toast Deluxe is perfect on its own or with a bit of fresh fruit, making it a satisfying yet simple treat.
