Technically, to be sure if you like this more than regular french toast you'll need to perform three tests. 1: This again but with maple syrup as you suggested. 2: French toast but with sweetened condensed milk. and 3: French toast with maple syrup as a control. I know it won't be easy but Science never is.
The testing for this is going to be so horrible and gruelling LOL. If you need a test subject I'm willing to help. I don't have the milk bread but I have everything else, how much does it matter to have the milk bread and not just a regular loaf of bread for this recipe?
My favorite person in the world (my grandmother) made me sugar toast growing up as well, loaded with butter, lots of sugar, and put in the oven until the bottom is golden brown! So yummy!! She passed away last June at the age of 94 and I miss her everyday. Food and gardening make me feel like she’s still around! Thank you for the memory and dinner suggestion haha
My parents would make cinnamon sugar toast and my favorite ones were the ones with the crunchy sugar on top. I now make it purposely with extra sugar on top to get that crunch.
I've never just put plain sugar on toast but I have put cinnamon sugar on it and it's amazing. It seems like it would also be good for this recipe since french toast absolutely needs cinnamon!
When my kids were little, I was a single mom and didn't have a lot of money. I'd make them cinnamon sugar toast with eggs and a banana for breakfast on the weekends and they LOVED it. It was super cheap. Or arroz con leche with cinnamon and sugar as they're Puerto Rican. To this day, though one is grown, I still keep a half-pint Mason jar with cinnamon and sugar for when they want cinnamon sugar toast or arroz con leche. The latter is usually when they don't feel well. Who knew such a simple treat would provide such long lasting sweet memories. 🥰
Cinnamon sugar toast was a treat as a kid . Around Christmas mom would make hot chocolate and we would dunk our toast in it . I did the same on winter nights when my daughter was little.
Hey, Emmy!! I’m currently a baking and pastry student and would love to show this to my instructors! Bread is such a beautiful, versatile thing…*deep inhale of french toast* Nothing quite like the comfort of it! Thank you so much for your shining heart and inspiration to me every week. You are truly a blessing to us all!🌻💖
This reminds me of making a "fancy" cheap treat. Your usual tortilla fried with butter/margarine, sugar, and cinnamon but the fancy part was when I had one or two of those little pots of half and half to be used for coffee cream. When the tortilla was all browned and crispy, I would throw in the half and half and it's kind silly how special it felt. Very simple but it put that tortilla on a whole other caramel-y level. Good times.
We always made a simple slice of toasted bread from the toaster, then buttered, then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. To this day, I keep an emptied spice jar filled with cinnamon sugar. Now I’m wondering if it could be used in the same way!
@@Beezer.D.B. Same. We made toast, buttered it, then sprinkled on a little bit of sugar, then cinnamon. Occasionally we used powdered sugar (that's a treat.)
@@CatsPajamas23 You know what’s also good with powdered sugar? Mixed with peanut flour! Peanut flour used to be cheap but hard to find. But now it’s sold as a “instant peanut butter” that you can mix with your smoothies etc. Brands like PB Fit, or PB 2 etc. mix the PB powder with powdered sugar and sprinkle on buttered toast. Yum!😋
Omg this looks incredible! Also, my mom always made me cinnamon toast in a similar way. Bread, spread with margarine and sprinkled (heavily) with granulated sugar and cinnamon, then toasted in the oven until the crust was crispy. I bet if you added cinnamon to this, it would be better too!
I used to make something similar to this, buttered bread, caramelized with cinnamon sugar, and topped with Nutella and bananas while still warm so the Nutella melts - SOO STINKING GOOD
I live in Greece and am very surprised to see that the humble treat of sugar on bread/toast that kids here have been having since at least the 1940s is apparently a worldwide thing! Wow! 😀 As for this special treat, well, my teeth hurt and my fat cells are partying just by looking at it, but I wouldn't say no to trying one little piece! 😅 Cheers, Emmy!!
Notable vegan french toast recipe: (I'm not a vegan, but this is really good), To a blender or food processor, add about a half to one cup of sesame tahini, two to four pitted dates, 1/2-1 tsp of vanilla, cinnamon to taste, pinch of salt, a Tbs or two (up to a quarter of a cup) of water, juice or milk alternative. Dip slices of bread to coat on both sides, place in heated lightly oiled skillet. Best vegan French toast out there. 🙂
When we were growing up, we used to make chocolate toast. Just mix a tablespoon of cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons of sugar, butter some bread (on one side) and sprinkle the chocolate mixture on top, then put it under a broiler for a few minutes. I liked it with a thin sprinkle of the chocolate mixture on top and just barely melted. My brother preferred it with a thick layer and broiled until it was almost like hard candy. We used to really love fixing this. Thank you for your videos, I have enjoyed many of them. Please keep them coming.
Yeah I cant help thinking that if you put some jam in the middle instead of just sugar, it would taste like a Toaster Strudel, and now that's the first thing I want to make when I get up tomorrow 🤤
Yeah, I grew up being fed cinnamon toast - white bread covered with margarine, sugar, and cinnamon. Toasted in the oven directly on the oven rack. It was the ultimate comfort food! In college, the only appliances I had in my dorm room were a refrigerator and a toaster oven. Cinnamon toast was my go-to in-room "meal." Well, that and a sort of quesadilla made with tortillas covered in margarine, cheese, and Pace picante sauce. Other people on my floor would knock on my door and ask me what smelled so good. As all appliances other than refrigerators were banned, I’d have to tell them that I got fresh, hot take-out from a nearby restaurant. Nobody believed that but only my very closest friends ever had the privilege of dining on my culinary dorm-room specialties.
Right after we had the flu and we were getting hungry, my Mom would make milk over toast. Similar, boiled milk toast with butter and sugar So after toast ,butter and sugar my Mom added the boiled milk over top soaking in the milk you tasted butter and sugar, it to me was actually good.
Omgosh Emmy that is death by sugar, but I bet it tastes indulgent and delicious. When I was a kid I would eat bread with just butter and sugar, and I just remembered there was a frozen desert made of alternating layers of coffee-soaked "Maria" biscuits and a fluffy cream made of just butter and granulated sugar beaten together. Sugar and butter make a very delicious combo!
@@englishatheart but the death by sugar (and foods like wheat that turn to sugar) is just as long and slow and painful as working to death LOL. 20 years ago I would have loved this treat, toast of any kind LOL but now I’m paying for those “it’s low fat so it’s healthy” days LOL
@@TracyKMainwaring It's true that too much sugar can have negative consequences, especially over a long period of time, but claiming that wheat turns to sugar after consumption isn't really an accurate statement. Having said, two notable things about wheat are that the most popular hybrid, developed for heartiness, disease and bug resistance and ease of growth did have an impact on its nutritional value and how it's digested and utilized in the human body, and of course then removing the bran and germ, grinding it then storing for over 24 hours, bleaching it also effect the overall nutritional value, but it's still a reliable source of starch, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber(especially whole), (even white and to a lesser degree bleached) and protein for people who aren't sensitive to gluten. Consumed in moderation and with other whole grains and proteins, legumes,nuts&seeds, fruits and vegetables, dairy, the slight blood sugar spike isn't that drastic or harmful unless you're a diabetic.🤫
@@CatsPajamas23 two things... the carbohydrates in wheat get metabolized into glucose (sugar) in the body, which then requires insulin. This is why wheat raises blood sugar levels in all people. Yes, that's not an issue when you're not diabetic, but in the US, up to 75% of people have impaired insulin function, and many don't know it. They might still be thin, or their labs don't reflect their actual usual metabolic ability. Looking back, I was obviously metabolically challenged in my early 20s, but I was still thin. I had been eating a low fat diet, as recommended by all the health organizations. "Over time" is so subjective so why not maintain steady insulin levels from an early age. There really isn't anything in what you can't get elsewhere. Most wheat Americans eat gets stripped of its potentially good stuff, and then it's added back in, but in synthetic, less absorbable forms. Wheat is highly processed, even "whole wheat". It's just not required to be healthy
I made a version of this for Christmas morning using thick sliced brioche bread with pumpkin butter and caramelized apple slices in between the bread. I served it drizzled with a spiced cider-maple syrup. Big hit with the family!
This looks amazing! I always use salted butter in my recipes even when it calls for unsalted. I have an amazing crusted French toast recipe that we eat once a week for dinner! It has oats so we call it healthy. Haha!
@@emmymade it’s true! You are soothing and a lovely “break” from the chaos of the world. Thank you for doing what you do and bringing some sunshine into a dark world. 💚
We used to have milk toast in the early 60's but we actually made toast while milk was heating up on the stove. when a filmed formed on the milk we would skim the film off the milk pour it over the buttered toast in a bowl and either salt it or put sugar on top then eat it. that was it. so simple, easy and delicious!
The idea of "milk toast" as an insult came from the comic strip "The Timid Soul" that ran from the 1920s to the 1950s. The main character was named "Casper Milquetoast". And of course milk toast had long been used as a bland nutritious food for the infirm and those with weak stomachs.
Hey Emmy, I just LOVE your aesthetic! And really appreciate these food tricks and tasting videos that you've been making for years, it's so cool to check out the curious hacks you test too! 💜
I made Dylan’s avocado bread and it’s not good at all (in my opinion). Needs more sugar or something LOL! I felt bad that I wasted perfectly good avocados to make it😞😞😞
@3:12,...my dad would make me almost the exact same thing, but with cinnamon on the toast **as well** as sugar!🥺😋💖 he would also make me buttered noodles, and i freakin LOVED when he would cook me these things... Of course at my age, it didn't click to me that it was done out of scarcity/that we were dirt poor...regardless, i absolutely loved those meals. Definitely feel blessed to have the parents i had looking back.💖
Man, I haven't had sugar toast since I lived at home! Mom used to make it for us and it was sooooooooo good. She'd mix cinnamon and sugar together, then sprinkle it on the toast. When the butter soaked it up, it tasted almost like a cinnamon roll!
My grandma always made us sugar and cinnamon toast with margarine. It is delicious! I didn't actually realize that margarine wasn't actual butter until i was a lot older 🤣
Yay! I'm at the beginning so emmy what about a polish boy for an episode of weenies!! It's a Cleveland staple!! We love here! ❤️ I'd love to see ur thoughts!!
While I appreciate people using "significant other" over the pretentious "partner," does your SO not identify as a man or woman? Because it sounds weird not saying "girlfriend" or "boyfriend." 😛
@@englishatheart could be maybe they’re not using labels 🤷🏻♀️ I was forced to call my ex my “partner” because he didn’t like the term “boyfriend” 😂🤦🏻♀️
Emmy, thank you so much for your videos. Whenever I'm feeling down or overwhelmed, I watch a few of your videos and your energy and joy for cooking can really help get me in a better frame of mind. Thank you!
When you need to pour something precisely but there's no funnel available, hold a chopstick or skewer or toothpick vertically across the mouth of the container you are pouring from, with an inch or so of the chopstick protruding past the edge of your pouring container. The fluid will flow down the point of the chopstick in a much narrower, predictable stream.
I can understand the physics of this, but struggling to understand how you hold the chopstick/toothpick in the container and pour without pouring all over the hand that's holding it? Like, how would Emmy hold a chopstick in the can?
Just tried this recipe today and it is sooo much tastier than regular French toast. I just replaced regular sugar by powder confectioner sugar for as smoother texture. It was divine!
This looks fantastic!! Thank you Emmy. My Dad made us sugar bread as kids too. He buttered the bread and added a thick layer of white sugar and baked it in the oven. PERFECTION!!
I used to make a variation of basic cinnamon toast. Toast a slice of white bread, butter one side (I've always used margarine because it's what I grew up with) and sprinkle with pure ground cinnamon, NO SUGAR. Then drizzle with maple syrup. I say I USED to make this because I have type 2 diabetes now and pretty much every ingredient apart from the margarine and cinnamon is a major no-no for me.
I've taken liking to apple butter and banana in between the slices of bread. It's one of the breakfast foods that you can get very experimental with and have some amazing results. Bye the way, funnels are for rookies.
My mom talked about how her grandma would serve her sugar on buttered bread! She loved it. She instilled in my a love of cinnamon sugar toast. The gritty buttery sugar? Incredible. I'm going to have to try this recipe asap.
When I was a kid I’d have half a bagel and a bowl of cereal for breakfast sometimes. I would dip my bagel (blueberry with butter on top) into the left over milk all the time.
This actually reminds me of Grilled Sans Cheese! I don’t like cheese so my grandma would make me a grilled cheese (two pieces of bread buttered inside and out) without the cheese and it’s very similar to how you described the middle! When I show it to people, they get weirded out at first but they try it and the middle is delicious!
Sugar toast and maple syrup on shaved ice(freshly fallen snow when I was a kid. Don't do that now) are 2 of my favorite childhood food memories. Sometimes, simple is the best.
I’ve got a shaker filled up with cinnamon and sugar that I put on buttered toast for my kids, just like my mom did for me when I was little, and her dad did for her when she was ♥️ it’s great with oatmeal! I just lost my mom four months ago😞
Emmy I am now officially a fan of milk toast and I haven't even tried it yet, but if it's even half as good as you've made it sound, I defo up for that lol
i like using condensed milk but because of the can i seldom do, i learned today i have to find a squeeze bottle to put it in. great tip and so obvious i feel silly for not thinking of it myself. thanks for that tip!
I felt the same way, but then I discovered that Walmart in the US sells condensed milk in a resealable pouch and sometimes a squeeze bottle now! I was very excited.
I had forgotten all about milk toast that my grandson has been sick and not eating and I was telling my daughter about my mom making us milk toast when we were sick when we were little but then I also saw someone talking about bread and butter and sugar and my dad Would make my brother and I big Ed’s burrito which was a special treat for us with bread and butter and sugar really brought back some good memories. Thank you.
This reminds me of the cinnamon sugar toast my mama would make for me on Sunday morning before church and when I just had a real crappy day. She'd lather the bread with salted butter then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the butter and pop them in the oven for the butter to melt and the sugar to carmelise. She passed away last year suddenly from a litany of health problems that hit her all at once. I think I need to start making that toast again.
As.a kid, milk toast was just buttered toast broken in pieces in a bowl with sugar and cream on it. Actual cream that mom skimmed off the milk from the cow. Yes, my age is showing!
Back in the day my best friend taught me how to make cinnamon sugar toast. It was the best treat. Get a piece of bread and spread softened butter or margarine on top then generously sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top and stick it in the oven on 350 until it’s toasted to your liking. So yummy!!!
I need you to know that you helped me survive. You are so genuine, kind, and interested in nature. You are decent, and truly kind, even when you are disappointed, or find flaws. As all of your fans and followers agree: I like to think we would be friends, if we met in real life. That is your gift: you read as full compassion, full empathy, non-stop genuine self.
Haha.. this looks good! In the Netherlands, we have something similar. We call it "Wentelteefjes" (The English translations of that is "turn-around-b*tches)
Emmy, do you think this would work with a nut or rice milk and a syrup instead of sweetened condensed milk? My daughter has been wanting to try this but we recently discovered she is allergic to cows milk products as well as gluten. We’re finding many substitutes bur are still learning what is interchangeable. We’ve definitely learned the hard way that many things are not interchangeable…..LOL We very much enjoy your content and look forward to your videos. Pi & Rhi
Oooh i bet this would be incredible with a little cinnamon mixed with the sugar! Or even spreading a thin layer of nutella instead of butter on the inside!
I like to make the "sugar toast" but with cinnamon sugar. Then if you have syrup lying around put that on it too... very sweet.. but it's like french toast withouth the milk or eggs, and it can hit the spot in an emergency!
Oh look another recipe that came from the 1800s made new again love the modern take. I even remember eating this as a kid and my grandparents and great grandparents ate it too.
My mom always made this when I was sick but starting to feel better. She would put the bread with butter and sugar under the broiler until the sugar was bubbly, then took it out and put it in a bowl and poured the milk over it. So yummy!
I haven't seen many savory versions, but when it's nothing but bread and whole milk it ends up tasting like a big piece of melty mozzarella, so I can't imagine it wouldnt be good with anything that would go with a big piece of melted cheese
My mom used to make me buttered toast with sugar as a child sometimes. Brings back a lot of memories. Waiting every night for dinner hopping this would be it
What is this madness!?!!! Oh my gosh... that looks amazing! I could eat condensed milk straight from the can. This will definitely be trying this weekend. I had never seen or heard of this so thanks for sharing!

May she rest peacefully. Food is has a magically way of transporting us through time, no?
As a kid, I also ate toast with Parkay margarine squeezed on top and sprinkled with sugar. I liked the crunch of sugar, too

Notable vegan french toast recipe: (I'm not a vegan, but this is really good), To a blender or food processor, add about a half to one cup of sesame tahini, two to four pitted dates, 1/2-1 tsp of vanilla, cinnamon to taste, pinch of salt, a Tbs or two (up to a quarter of a cup) of water, juice or milk alternative. Dip slices of bread to coat on both sides, place in heated lightly oiled skillet. Best vegan French toast out there. 🙂
Nah butter tastes too good 🤣

Try croissants sliced in half, sprinkle with lots of sugar … toast in a toaster oven until sugar lightly brown and caramelized, so yummy!
So impressed with your steady hands. You've obviously led a clean life 😊
My grandma always made us sugar and cinnamon toast with margarine. It is delicious! I didn't actually realize that margarine wasn't actual butter until i was a lot older 🤣
Yay! I'm at the beginning so emmy what about a polish boy for an episode of weenies!! It's a Cleveland staple!! We love here! ❤️ I'd love to see ur thoughts!!
I’ve been trying to get her to a Jersey Italian Dog for a few years now
Yummy Polish boys are amazing dogs!!
Everyone who comes to Cleveland must have a poor boy!
@@tamlettieri yes ma'am
I haven't done a 'Weenies' episode in awhile....
Emmy be having my significant other looking at me crazy when I attempt to cook these recipes🙄😊
Nah, this one's a winner. My kids LOVED it.
Yes they will, crazy with LOVE! lol
While I appreciate people using "significant other" over the pretentious "partner," does your SO not identify as a man or woman? Because it sounds weird not saying "girlfriend" or "boyfriend." 😛
@@englishatheart could be maybe they’re not using labels 🤷🏻♀️ I was forced to call my ex my “partner” because he didn’t like the term “boyfriend” 😂🤦🏻♀️
Emmy, thank you so much for your videos. Whenever I'm feeling down or overwhelmed, I watch a few of your videos and your energy and joy for cooking can really help get me in a better frame of mind. Thank you!
6:53 "haiyaa" Emmy sounded like Uncle Rodger🤪
When you need to pour something precisely but there's no funnel available, hold a chopstick or skewer or toothpick vertically across the mouth of the container you are pouring from, with an inch or so of the chopstick protruding past the edge of your pouring container. The fluid will flow down the point of the chopstick in a much narrower, predictable stream.
I can understand the physics of this, but struggling to understand how you hold the chopstick/toothpick in the container and pour without pouring all over the hand that's holding it? Like, how would Emmy hold a chopstick in the can?
@@arianapadilla9351 She just means hold it next to the mouth of the container and let the fluid run over and off the end of it
@@spaantz I still don't see how it wouldn't get all over your finger
@@arianapadilla9351 You would hold the chopstick up by the container you're pouring from. The liquid would have to flow upward to touch your fingers
@@spaantz so you would hold it on the outside of the container?
You deserve all the views and subscribers you get Emmy! Keep it up!
Thanks so much. 🧡
Loved when she got the bite with the sugary crunch, I could see her channeling her grandmother :).
🧡
My grandma used to make me a toast with lard and sprinkled sugar on top cooked over an open flame. It was amazing!
Grandmas are the best.
Your cooking looks so good
Thank you!
any time i watch your videos and i’m really tired i fall asleep because your videos and voice are so calming lol
then i have to rewatch them after my nap 😂
Watching you apply that condensed milk was so satisfying!
Can you imagine sounding that calm and peacefull your whole life jeez I wish
Just tried this recipe today and it is sooo much tastier than regular French toast. I just replaced regular sugar by powder confectioner sugar for as smoother texture. It was divine!
I love these crazy recipes that end up being absolutely delicious 😋
That SHING! of the knife coming out of the drawer was very satisfying
🗡
My grandma would make my poppa milk toast every morning for breakfast. This brought back so many memories, thank you. ❤
Milk toast and French toast seems the same yet different! yummmmy!
This looks fantastic!! Thank you Emmy. My Dad made us sugar bread as kids too. He buttered the bread and added a thick layer of white sugar and baked it in the oven. PERFECTION!!
I used to make a variation of basic cinnamon toast. Toast a slice of white bread, butter one side (I've always used margarine because it's what I grew up with) and sprinkle with pure ground cinnamon, NO SUGAR. Then drizzle with maple syrup. I say I USED to make this because I have type 2 diabetes now and pretty much every ingredient apart from the margarine and cinnamon is a major no-no for me.
I've taken liking to apple butter and banana in between the slices of bread. It's one of the breakfast foods that you can get very experimental with and have some amazing results. Bye the way, funnels are for rookies.
I made this with slices of brioche bread, pumpkin butter and caramelized apple slices for Christmas morning. It was a huge hit with everyone!
Emmy you are my favorite person!! I will definitely be trying this out :>
My mom talked about how her grandma would serve her sugar on buttered bread! She loved it. She instilled in my a love of cinnamon sugar toast. The gritty buttery sugar? Incredible. I'm going to have to try this recipe asap.
My grandma put sugar and margarine on homemade bread. Yum. Sometimes we poured hot coffee with milk over it
Her personality is soo darn cute!
When I was a kid I’d have half a bagel and a bowl of cereal for breakfast sometimes. I would dip my bagel (blueberry with butter on top) into the left over milk all the time.
This actually reminds me of Grilled Sans Cheese! I don’t like cheese so my grandma would make me a grilled cheese (two pieces of bread buttered inside and out) without the cheese and it’s very similar to how you described the middle! When I show it to people, they get weirded out at first but they try it and the middle is delicious!
Gabmd!! -i love getting these!
Ok this looks like my kids would like it possibly. Thanks for another great and fun video!
I can’t believe I’m this early! I love your content so much
Hi, early bird and thank you!
Sugar toast and maple syrup on shaved ice(freshly fallen snow when I was a kid. Don't do that now) are 2 of my favorite childhood food memories. Sometimes, simple is the best.
I’ve got a shaker filled up with cinnamon and sugar that I put on buttered toast for my kids, just like my mom did for me when I was little, and her dad did for her when she was ♥️ it’s great with oatmeal! I just lost my mom four months ago😞
Awe😢❤
this reminds me a lot of torrijas!! wich is a spanish typical dessert made during easter.
Emmy I am now officially a fan of milk toast and I haven't even tried it yet, but if it's even half as good as you've made it sound, I defo up for that lol
Milquetoast was the name of an early 20th C cartoon character that was timid and wimpy. That's why milquetoast and milk toast aren't the same thing.
i like using condensed milk but because of the can i seldom do, i learned today i have to find a squeeze bottle to put it in. great tip and so obvious i feel silly for not thinking of it myself. thanks for that tip!
I felt the same way, but then I discovered that Walmart in the US sells condensed milk in a resealable pouch and sometimes a squeeze bottle now! I was very excited.
Yay so glad she reviewed this I jus heard about this milk toast
The "E for Emmy" made my heart explode. So cute 😆
Looks really yummy!!! 😋
When my mom made milk toast it was just toast from a toaster, then butter and sugar added, then you poured milk on top. It's very good!
@@twinnish Oh yeah, we've had it like that before too! Dry milk isn't terrible if its used in recipe, in my opinion at least!
I had forgotten all about milk toast that my grandson has been sick and not eating and I was telling my daughter about my mom making us milk toast when we were sick when we were little but then I also saw someone talking about bread and butter and sugar and my dad Would make my brother and I big Ed’s burrito which was a special treat for us with bread and butter and sugar really brought back some good memories. Thank you.
Omg! That looks amazing! I’m gonna have to make that like tomorrow!😜😉👌🏽
Milk toast has always been nursery food. When my mother was a child in the 1950s this was always Sunday night supper for the kids before bedtime.
This reminds me of the cinnamon sugar toast my mama would make for me on Sunday morning before church and when I just had a real crappy day. She'd lather the bread with salted butter then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the butter and pop them in the oven for the butter to melt and the sugar to carmelise. She passed away last year suddenly from a litany of health problems that hit her all at once. I think I need to start making that toast again.
Sweetened condensed milk makes everything better hehe imagine French toast with sweetened condensed milk, heaven!
As.a kid, milk toast was just buttered toast broken in pieces in a bowl with sugar and cream on it. Actual cream that mom skimmed off the milk from the cow. Yes, my age is showing!
Back in the day my best friend taught me how to make cinnamon sugar toast. It was the best treat. Get a piece of bread and spread softened butter or margarine on top then generously sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top and stick it in the oven on 350 until it’s toasted to your liking. So yummy!!!
Love your video's Emmy ... I crave the positive vibes! 💓💓💓💓
🧡🧡🧡
@@emmymade awe... You made my day! Thank u again for being such a beautiful light! 🕯️
Made this last night and OMG ❤️❤️
Omg when you said "I know, it's gonna be ok" lol I was dying
Alright! I'm glad so many of you grew up with this too.
This looks delicious!!! I think a potential contender for my fav roti bom covered in condensed milk +.+ Can't wait to give it a try!
I need you to know that you helped me survive.
You are so genuine, kind, and interested in nature. You are decent, and truly kind, even when you are disappointed, or find flaws. As all of your fans and followers agree: I like to think we would be friends, if we met in real life.
That is your gift: you read as full compassion, full empathy, non-stop genuine self.
Haha.. this looks good! In the Netherlands, we have something similar. We call it "Wentelteefjes" (The English translations of that is "turn-around-b*tches)
I just made this using butter ,evap milk ,sugar and hot dog buns they were so yummy !
Gonna definitely try this 😋
Emmy, do you think this would work with a nut or rice milk and a syrup instead of sweetened condensed milk? My daughter has been wanting to try this but we recently discovered she is allergic to cows milk products as well as gluten. We’re finding many substitutes bur are still learning what is interchangeable. We’ve definitely learned the hard way that many things are not interchangeable…..LOL
We very much enjoy your content and look forward to your videos. Pi & Rhi
Oooh i bet this would be incredible with a little cinnamon mixed with the sugar! Or even spreading a thin layer of nutella instead of butter on the inside!
Sure! Make it your own.
Damn…straight finessed the milk into that bottle. That was smooth 👏🏾
Thank you, thank you very much. 🙇🏻♀️
Omg im early for once i love youuu and your recipes, you make some good food I wish i had the patience to make lol!💓 much love and luck
If you liked sugar toast as a kid, here in Canada, my grandma used brown sugar and then sprinkled cinnamon on top! Try it.. you won't be disappointed.
I like to make the "sugar toast" but with cinnamon sugar. Then if you have syrup lying around put that on it too... very sweet.. but it's like french toast withouth the milk or eggs, and it can hit the spot in an emergency!
I had cinnamon sugar and margarine on fresh bread just before opening this and now I'm craving more of it
Oh look another recipe that came from the 1800s made new again love the modern take. I even remember eating this as a kid and my grandparents and great grandparents ate it too.
My mom always made this when I was sick but starting to feel better. She would put the bread with butter and sugar under the broiler until the sugar was bubbly, then took it out and put it in a bowl and poured the milk over it. So yummy!
I haven't seen many savory versions, but when it's nothing but bread and whole milk it ends up tasting like a big piece of melty mozzarella, so I can't imagine it wouldnt be good with anything that would go with a big piece of melted cheese
My mom used to make me buttered toast with sugar as a child sometimes. Brings back a lot of memories. Waiting every night for dinner hopping this would be it
What is this madness!?!!! Oh my gosh... that looks amazing! I could eat condensed milk straight from the can. This will definitely be trying this weekend. I had never seen or heard of this so thanks for sharing!
Video starts at 2:30. You’re welcome
Omg tysm! I was abt to start at 5:38 when I looked in the comments and realized my mistake
Yum, I can almost feel the insulin rush, I'm glad you test these for our entertainment!
