Method

Heat a ridged griddle pan on the hob until hot. Spread the butter thinly on both sides of each brioche slice.
Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and tip into a tea strainer. Lightly dust each slice on both sides with the spiced sugar and cook in the pan for just 30 seconds or so each side, until golden and bar-marked.Set up a production line of buttering, dusting and charring so the brioche can be eaten hot from the pan.
Slip each slice on a plate then scatter over some fresh fruit followed by a drizzle of honey. Serve hot.
