Milk toast is a childhood favorite of mine: warm, thick vanilla pudding spooned over crisp buttered toast. We used to enjoy it on cold winter mornings, and I hope you will, too!
Author:
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for serving
  • bread and butter
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove it from the heat and whisk in the flour. Add the milk and return to the heat. Add the sugar and cook, whisking, until the mixture boils. Whisk constantly and continue cooking the mixture for about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and cinnamon. Allow to cool for around 10 minutes. In the meantime, toast slices of bread and butter them. Pour the warm pudding mixture over the bread, sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve.

    Laura made this one morning.. It was good. I grew up eating a milk gravy but it was not sweet. My Mother would use the drippings from the sausage she had cooked along with flour, milk, salt and pepper. I still make this occasionally.

        Now you are getting closer to southern style biscuits with sausage gravy which I learned about and started eating when I moved from New England to Texas. My kids love it!

    You know, I just want to find a good recipe or learn a new cooking recipe…not listen to your thoughts about toxic masculinity! It was nice reading your recipes but goodbye

        I myself quite enjoyed your thoughts about toxic masculinity and the correlation to school violence. I look for yummy recipes online because I care about my family. And looking for solutions to end the violence is another way to show that I care. Thanks for the pinch of cinnamon and the dash of truth!

    I mean I agree with all you said before the recipe… but it was so random and unrelated that it just cracked me up 😂💀 I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but laugh, it was just so random. School shootings and milk toast! This is hilarious

      Yeah blogs used to be personal blogs before SEO made them a long list of aggregated facts about like bread and dish storage options and such. I miss people’s actual writing but it can seem weird to come across it now.
