Instructions

  1. Please note that both ~Tasty~ and I estimated the amount of ingredients for the spice mixture. Adjust accordingly to your preference.
  2. Tip: if you can't find vanilla powder, substitute 1-2 drops of real vanilla extract and stir it into softened butter.
  3. In a small bowl combine the English mixed spice, vanilla powder and sugar of choice.
  4. Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
  5. To make the Deluxe Cinnamon Toast: Spread butter on a slice of bread (crumpet, whole wheat, etc.) Tip: if your butter is not to room temperature-no worries! Just place a few pieces of the hard butter on the bread. It will melt into the bread as it toasts.
  6. Sprinkle about a scant one half teaspoon of the spice mixture on the bread.
  7. Toast until browned and sizzling but being careful not to burn the bread!
  8. PS I use a toaster which browns bread horizontally which means the butter doesn't drip down into the heating element. It is not recommended to use a toaster that toasts bread vertically to avoid the butter dripping into the mechanism-(thus in the process destroying your coveted Mickey Mouse Toaster). An oven will work.
