This is a Quebec sugar shack tradition, the kind of thing served during maple season when the sap is running and everyone is in a very good mood. Toast the bread on one side, butter the other, cover generously with soft maple sugar, and slide it under the broiler until the sugar melts into amber pools.

Everyone at the table adds their own walnuts and pours cream over top according to how indulgent they’re feeling. Sour cream works if you want a little tang against the sweetness.

Maple sugar, not maple syrup, is what you need here. It’s granular, concentrated, and caramelizes under the broiler in a way liquid syrup simply won’t. Find it at specialty grocers or Quebec sugar shack shops.
