Cinnamon toast

I've made no secret of the fact that I can't bake. Which is unfortunate, because freshly baked cinnamon buns, with or without cream cheese frosting, are among my very, very favourite foods. So I made this dessert to compensate, at least a little. It's sweet, it's buttery, it's cinnamony, it's pretty darned good. The observant may notice that the recipe calls for 9 slices of bread, but the picture only shows 6 toasts. That's because my daughter swiped 3 while I was setting up the photo. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the crusts from the bread, then use a rolling pin to flatten the slices as thin as possible. Save the crusts for something else, like breadcrumbs.

In a bowl, mix together until uniform the remaining ingredients (except for the powdered sugar). Spread about 1/2 to 2/3 tsp cinnamon cream cheese onto each slice of bread, then roll them into cylinders. Once assembled, put the toasts in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up.
- 3
Add 3 or 4 tbsp butter to a large pan on medium heat. Once the butter stops foaming and starts to turn nutty brown, lay in the toasts, seam-side down. Fry, rotating frequently, until the toasts are golden and just slightly crisp. They'll crisp more as they cool. Frying should only take about 5 minutes. Once done, remove the toasts to a paper-towel lined plate to drain for a minute, then dust them with a little powdered sugar and watch them disappear.

I find it overwhelming if both sides are buttered so I put butter, sugar, and cinnamon on only one side of the bread. The measurement of the butter, sugar, and cinnamon would depend on your preference. :) I don't have a toaster so I use pan instead. Estacio.of.Liberty -
