Watching a long cricket match can bring about hunger pangs.
Waking up to catch an early game in the morning demands a sugar rush and
a bit of good food to keep our tired eyes open, as well as keeping our
tummies happy throughout the time.
Condensed milk toast
Even though French toast is good, condensed milk just makes it that much better. This recipe serves one, so as the number of people increases just double the ingredients accordingly.
Ingredients:
1 slice of white bread or brown bread
1 egg
90ml milk
1 tbsp condensed milk (or more if you want it really sweet)
Butter for frying
Method:
Cut the bread into desired sizes. Beat the egg and mix it with the milk and the condensed milk, in a shallow dish or container. Let the bread soak in the egg mixture on both sides. Heat the frying pan and melt some butter. Turn the bread over, cover with a lid, and fry slowing on low heart.

Caramel for popcorn
It is incredibly easy; just do everything while they are hot.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp butter
Splash of water
Method:
Add the butter in a pan over high heat. Add the sugar when the butter has melted. Wait for the sugar to dissolve. When there is a light brown colour add water and quickly stir.
