One more step
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My Mother made me vanilla milk; sugar, vanilla and milk. And cut strips of buttered bread and toasted in oven till crisp. I... still make it 45 years later and my children love it to. Love Nigella's real food.Read more

Just like Dad made (almost!)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If it was with warm milk and buttered toast (the butter is key!), he called it 'milk toast' and he made this for us when we... were sick. If it was with cold milk and untoasted bread, it was 'bread and milk' and he made it for me (and him), usually in the summertime for a quick breakfast or late-night snack. Great memories! Thanks Nigella!Read more

Very comforting and nostalgic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I remember my grandfather eating something like this when I was a child. I hadn't thought of it in years until I saw this... episode air. I made it tonight, but I drizzled honey over the bread rather than sugar and sprinkled a little Pumpkin Pie spice over it as well. It was wonderful. I think this will be my new favorite comfort treat!Read more

Childhood Memories
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Growing up in Scotland, my mother used to serve us this and her name for it was "Saps". Simple things are the best.
