The Journey to Making Cinnamon Toast: A Fun Adventure

Introduction

Cooking can be a lot of fun, especially when it involves a little adventure! In this story, we join Cookie Monster and Gonger as they help their friend Camilla make cinnamon toast for her school play. Along the way, we’ll learn how to make this yummy treat and discover some cool facts about cinnamon.

The Quest for Ingredients

Camilla is playing Little Red Riding Hood in her school play and needs cinnamon toast to take to her Grandma. She asks her friends, Cookie Monster and Gonger, for help. Together, they gather the ingredients they need:

  • Bread: This is what we use to make the toast.
  • Butter: It makes the toast rich and helps the cinnamon and sugar stick.
  • Sugar: This makes the toast sweet.
  • Cinnamon: The special ingredient that gives the toast its yummy flavor.

But oh no! They realize they don’t have any cinnamon. Instead of giving up, they decide to go on an adventure to find some in the forest.

Discovering Cinnamon in the Forest

In the forest, they meet a friendly cinnamon farmer who tells them how cinnamon is made. Here are some fun facts about cinnamon:

  • Cinnamon is a Spice: It comes from the inside of cinnamon tree bark.
  • Harvesting Process: Workers peel the bark from the trees to get the sweet-smelling inner bark.
  • Cinnamon Quills: The inner bark is dried and rolled into sticks, which can be ground into powder.

Cinnamon is not only great for sweet treats but also adds flavor to savory dishes like chicken soup and is tasty on fruits like apples.

Making Cinnamon Toast

With cinnamon in hand, Cookie Monster and Gonger head back to make the cinnamon toast. Here’s how they do it:

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast slices of bread until they are golden brown.
  2. Spread Butter: Spread butter on each slice of toast.
  3. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl to make a sweet topping.
  4. Sprinkle the Mixture: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix over the buttered toast.

Now the cinnamon toast is ready to eat and enjoy!
