Radical artist Kembra Pfahler likes to start some mornings off with a saccharine cinnamon toast.
Bliss is the aroma of cinnamon wafting through a kitchen on a lazy late Sunday morning. This memory brings Kembra Pfahler home. The artist, raised in the waves of sunny California beaches, has cultivated a practice that is both hardcore and theatrical since living in New York since the ‘80s. She does, however, enjoy treating herself to this sweet toast for breakfast, usually with a cold glass of milk. “It’s something I don't make often, but when I do I can usually eat about three or four pieces,” Pfahler shares with Family Style.
Ingredients:
- Thickly sliced of bread
- Salted butter
- 1 teaspoon of white sugar
- ¼ cinnamon powder
Instructions:
- Buy an uncut loaf of bread from your local bakery and ask them to cut the bread into thicker than usual slices.
- Prepare the cinnamon in a cup to bowl, and add white sugar (not powdered sugar) and cinnamon. This varies person to person. The amount of cinnamon you use is subjective.
- Toast the bread in a toaster on a medium setting.
- Butter the bread after it's been toasted, so the bread is soaked in butter.
- Right after the butter has gone on the toast and melted, sprinkle at least one teaspoon of your cinnamon and sugar combination on the toast.
- After you've completely covered the buttered toast with the cinnamon and sugar mixture, let it sit for a minute while you're allowing it to blend with the butter.
- After it has a minute to soak into the butter, take the toast and turn it over so all of the excess sugar and cinnamon falls off.
