Sugar & Cinnamon Krispies

~Simply Delightful Morsels for Coffee or Tea~

Recipe:

8 slices white bread, crusts removed and sliced in half to form a triangle.

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or use a Silpat.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. For an additional flavor boost, use vanilla sugar-made by storing a vanilla bean in several cups of sugar for a few days.

Brush the bread triangles with melted butter. Lightly dredge them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place each sugared bread on a prepared cookie sheet.

Place in 325 degrees oven for 10 minutes. Remove the Krispies from the oven, turn them oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove from oven and eat right away or store in an airtight container. These are delicious dipped in coffee or tea!

As small children living in Iowa, we were frequently served a variation of this recipe from our mom's farm kitchen - it might be just one side of the bread buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and broiled in the oven to delicious perfection. She could make wonderful treats using bread as a base~brown sugar & butter sandwiches or radishes & salt on buttered bread or tomatoes, salt & mayo sandwiches or sliced cucumber sprinkled with salt on buttered bread. These were frequent offerings in the summer when the our garden was at it's peak of production. She found the most creative ways to use everything!
