Ingredients

  • 1 pint (570 ml) milk, part cream if the person is not forbidden that
  • 4 slices good bread, freshly toasted
  • Sweet butter, if allowed
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the milk to the simmering point.
  2. Generously butter the toast slices.
  3. Heat a pretty bowl, deeper than it is wide. Break the hot buttered toast into it, pour the steaming but not boiling milk over it, sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the top, and serve at once.

Notes

Although the recipe calls for salt, milk toast may also be made sweet by the omission of salt and pepper and the addition, instead, of sugar. Other optional ingredients for sweet versions include cinnamon, honey or a touch of vanilla, but piquant and exotic ingredients should be avoided, as the primary purpose of milk toast is to provide a food soothing to the palate and to the digestion.
