Sweet variations on a Spartan theme. Great crumbled over ice cream or with a 4 o'clock cup of tea.

Ingredients
10 or more slices Pain au Lait (see recipe), challah, brioche, or white bread, crusts removed
3 Tbsp. (45 mL) unsalted butter, or more, if needed
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) finely granulated sugar mixed with 1 scant Tbsp. (15 mL) ground cinnamon or 2½ Tbsp. (37.5 mL) finely granulated sugar, or more if needed

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roll out the bread slices with a rolling pin until they are about 1/8 inch (.3 cm) thick. Lightly spread both sides of each slice of bread with butter.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon, if using that option.

Cut the bread into triangles, fingers, squares, or circles.

Cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the bread on the foil and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes. Turn the bread over and lightly sprinkle the sugar or the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the bread after you have turned it.

Bake until golden brown. Cool and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
