Classic Fried Butter Bread with Strawberries

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them. In a bowl, mix the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside to macerate for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

4. 4

   Place the bread slices, buttered side down, in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and let it melt. Add the macerated strawberries and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.

6. 6

   To assemble, place two slices of fried bread on a plate. Top with a generous spoonful of the cooked strawberries.

7. 7

   Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of honey and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

8. 8

   Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and serve immediately.
