Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 3 slices bread
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• table salt (per taste, but required)
• 3 teaspoons butter, available
• 1 3/4 cups of fresh cold milk

Recipe

• 1 please read all the way through first:.
• 2 the first step is to have a serving bowl that will contain the majority of the 1 3/4th cup of milk and only be approximately 3/4th full or close to that quantity (because there needs to be room later to also hold the toasted bread)/ consequently, i usually pour enough milk into my serving bowl to fill it 3/4th full and use that amount of milk to boil.
• 3 then pour that amount of milk into a small pan and place on stove and turn heat to high at first and adjust as you go but we need milk to boil.
• 4 add 1 tsp of butter into the stove pan of milk immediately.
• 5 add 1/4 tsp of salt to the stove pan of milk and stir.
• 6 add 2 tbsp of sugar, stir until dissolved.
• 7 have the last tbsp available for preference at end.
• 8 you should understand that the milk will scorch if you don't stir when it gets close to boiling.
• 9 toast the three slices of bread to the darker setting without burning.
• 10 if toast becomes burnt, replace and try again/ it's very important to get this part exactly right, the toast must be darker than regular breakfast toast but never burnt-- but very close/ it must still look and taste good at this finished point/ if you hate darker toast then don't toast it this dark but as far as you can take it, is best.
• 11 add another 1 tsp of butter to your not yet boiling milk while continuing to stir slowly/ (you can add another one if you like, or even a part of it, i do).
• 12 butter the toasted bread lightly but into all area's of the darkened but not burnt toast/ if you like pepper, add just a small touch on each slice or leave off.
• 13 lightly salt the buttered toast on the buttered side into all area's of the toast & this is necessary.
• 14 bring milk to a boil where it will rise in the pan and require your blowing it down/ this is normal and will happen at a flash point, be ready to take milk off of heat/ then pour into your serving bowl where you will still have about 1/4th of it still free or unfilled/ taste to test if more sugar is needed.
• 15 pull apart your toast by hand and drop 'gently' into the top of your served hot milk without forcing it down to much.
• 16 what your striving for is an even mixture of milk and toast/ you don't want to much toast that it dries up the hot milk and you do want a bit more milk than toast.
• 17 lastly, you must again lightly salt your bowl of hot milk and toast.
• 18 it takes less than a 40 seconds to cool down but do eat while hot/ you should be tasting a hot buttery sweet milk of nicely salted bread that draws you back each time/ adjust salt, sugar and butter to taste.
• 19 again, the boiling milk will froth and rise quickly, be ready and have a hot pan holder ready to pick up pan and blow down the rising froth, it means, it's ready.
