The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie actor makes cinnamon toast at the weekend for her children.
For traditional cinnamon toast, simply grill slices of bread on one side, then turn them over, butter the untoasted side and sprinkle with a little brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Grill gently on the sugary side until toasted and the sugar has begun to caramelise.
When you’ve a little more time to play with, take things up a notch by making cinnamon French toast: cut four slices of bread, lay them in a hot pan and grill on one side. Butter the other side, as above. Break two eggs into a bowl and beat with two tablespoons of milk, a tablespoon of caster sugar and a quarter-teaspoon of ground cinnamon (or to taste). Melt a large knob of butter in a wide frying pan. Soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture, then place them untoasted side down in the hot pan. Cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side, to heat through. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar and eat straight away.
