has anyone but me re-visited this old old old treat? I'd forgotten it
'til just this morning. a slice of (white) bread, dot on some BUTTER
slices, sprinkle on some (white) sugar, flurry on some ground cinnamon
and stick 'neath a hot broiler 'til all toasty and almost burned.

Yabut it's easier to make well done toast, put butter on so it melts
then sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar which you have mixed together
in the proportion you like in a shaker.

LOL, JD...I read the title of your post and immediately thought of our new
'Oriental' Kitten that is a 'Cinnamon' coloured Oriental...We call her
Cinnamon and some times (quite often) I will call her 'Cinnamon Toast'... My
little Granddaughter, Alyssa comes in every morning and sings out
'Sweetheart'....I think you could say that she has 3 names..One of them
being 'Cinnamon Toast' :-)

As for the eating variety of Cinnamon toast, I haven't had it in years..I
used to love it..and it is as old as Adam would be...<g>..

I keep a mixture of sugar and cinnamon in my pantry, so I can have cinnamon
toast quickly and easily whenever I'm in the mood.

I hate to be critical when you've just brought back such lovely childhood
memories, but you're supposed to use *brown* sugar on cinnamon toast.

My mother and her sister usually go on a cinnamon toast binge every winter.
They premix the brown sugar and cinnamon in an old salt shaker, and use it
for a few mornings until the shaker is empty. Then they don't have it again
until the next year.

I never heard of brown sugar and cinnamon. But it does sound good.
But when you mix brown sugar and cinnamon doesn't the brown sugar get
packed and difficult to sprinkle?

Darlin...I quite often make a mix of Brown Sugar and Mustard, and keep it in
a small jar in the cupboard...Normal Brown Sugar though, and not the Extra
Dark Brown sugar....
and it mixes OK, but I use either my fingers or a teaspoon to use it on Pork
Chops that I have grilled (Broiled) until nearly cooked.

I then put a good covering of the Brown Sugar and Mustard onto the top of
the chops and then sprinkle a few either of Roasted Flaked or Slivered
Almonds, that I have roasted in a pan on top of the stove.... I put the
chops back under the Griller (Broiler) and melt the topping and serve...It
is delicious..I use Mid Loin Chops usually..

I'm sure it would if you kept it long, Lin.

But they usually just put in a few days' worth, and then go back to
applesauce or homemade jam on their toast.

Why? Splenda tastes just like sugar. Of course, the bread (especially
white bread) has a lot of carbs to begin with so even with Splenda it's not
a good food for a diabetic.

Speaking of childhood treats...I wonder if my sister and I were the
only people who enjoyed buttered bread, topped with slices of radish
and lightly salted? Or raw onion sandwiches?

she specifically? Ming is a black Persian; the two foster

My mother used to make it too, but she mixed the cinnamon and sugar into the
butter to make a spread. It was heavenly! I used to do that too, but I've
gotten lazy and don't do it any more. It's probably just as well. I know I
used more of the spread than I should have.

My granddaughter makes *cinnamon rollups* She slathers butter on white
bread, covers with cinnamon and sugar, then rolls it up, pops it in the
microwave for a few seconds and it's done! I think I like your way better

White sugar? Not brown?

I remember it being brown sugar, but I could be misfiring - sometimes my
cylinders just won't hold pressure. ;-)

It is one of my favourite way's to cook Pork Chops, Chak...

By the way, it should be obvious that I use 'Powdered' Mustard..

Mix Approx 1 Tablespoon (Oz measure for Tablespoon is 20 mil and not 15
mil) of Brown Sugar and 1 Teaspoon of Powdered Mustard..and mix together
well...

And when I remove them from the Griller (Broiler) after the Sugar etc is
melted, I usually put a small amount of butter on the chops to melt and
moisten the top..

Jean....In reply to your question....


'Cinnamon', is now in the adolescent stage..She was only 9 weeks old when we
bought her..Far too young to leave their mothers at that age...They should
be still with their mothers until around 12-13 weeks.... The 'Oriental
Shorthair' comes in different colours ,but the same shaped body, Jean..Very
much resembles a 'Siamese' in body shape..Long and slim..We have a
'Cinnamon' colour, that is a beautiful mink like look to her..We should have
called her 'Minky'...

Here is a true description of her nature..From the Wikipedia entry...I
couldn't tell you more about her nature than this comment..True in every
detail of her.......


"Oriental Shorthairs are intelligent, social animals who bond closely to
their people. They are inquisitive, friendly, emotional, demanding and often
quite vocal. Oriental Shorthairs have been likened to a Greyhound or a
Chihuahua in appearance. Some people say they are 'dog-like' in personality,
particularly because they become so attached to people."

This first article is about 'Oriental Breed'...

This next one has a couple of pictures that are exactly like our
Cinnamon...Look at the lower pictures and both of them have a true Picture
of how she looks, it is exactly like her,The cinnamon colour one's near to

I remember a Weight Watchers recipe, that while not the same as your
cinnamon toast, was really yummie.
I don't even remember what they called it, but it was almost sinful.
Toast the bread as usual.
Add a layer of cottage cheese.
Top with cinnamon and sweetner.
Broil in oven.
Really good, if you liked cottage cheese.
Uh...Stan wouldn't eat it.
