Critical Success Points

  • Coat the bread thoroughly with ice cream without letting it drip off before it hits the pan.
  • Cook on medium heat until the crust is golden; too high heat will melt the ice cream too fast and cause sogginess.
  • Add cinnamon and maple syrup while the toast is still hot for optimal flavor absorption.

Safety Warnings

  • The skillet and melted butter are very hot – use a pot holder.
  • Ice cream can splatter when it hits the pan; keep a safe distance.
