Ingredients

  • 1 pint (570 ml) scalded milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 ½ tablespoons bread flour
  • 6 slices dry toast

Directions

  1. Gradually add cold water to flour to make a smooth, thin paste.
  2. Add paste to milk, stirring constantly until thickened.
  3. Cover, and cook 20 minutes; then, add salt and butter in small pieces.
  4. Dip slices of toast separately in sauce; when soft, remove to serving dish. Pour remaining sauce over all.

Notes

Although both above recipes call 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.

Corn starch may be substituted for flour.
