Rainy, wet, damp, dark, cold Sunday blughhh! The only thing we could do - to drown out the sound of the dehumidifier was to do some retro cooking (it's the latest craze!) Vince loves his 70's cookbook as much as me, and as we had some old bread a massive packet of cinnamon and a pineapple lying around we made these recipes.
Ingredients
4 slices of bread
30g Butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Toast one side of the bread under the grill.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a moderate heat.
Add the sugar & cinnamon and mix well.
Spread the mixture evenly over the un-toasted side of the bread.
Place under the grill until the sugar mixture is crusty and bubbling.
Leave to cool for a bit then cut into squares.
