 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6      slices        whole wheat or French bread
                       Butter
  1      c             soft or grated maple sugar -- up to 1 1/2 cups
    1/3  c             chopped walnuts
                       Rich cream or sour cream

Toast the bread on one side. Butter the untoasted side. Sprinkle generously
with the sugar, without going too near the edges. Place on broiler, 4
inches away from the source of heat and broil until the sugar melts and
bubbles. Set on a plate -- each one sprinkles the nuts to taste on top and
pour cream over all.

NOTES : A sugaring party spectacular, especially since I learned to make it
at "grand'papa's" sugar ouse, with freshly beaten soft sugar. However
grated maple sugar will do very well.
