Tips

  • Save the crusts.
  • If you are a Virgo, you can cut little pieces of bread to fill the gaps on the side.
  • Use a new fork if you're worried about contamination after spreading the butter-sugar mixture.
  • Use a spoon to press down on any dry spots of bread to ensure complete coating.
  • Serve with toppings like powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh strawberries, or whipped cream.
