I searched for the dessert on restaurant menus and in café display cases to no avail. So, I set out to make it myself.

I headed over to Australia's grocery store chain Woolworth, where I picked up bread, sprinkles, and butter.

I started by scraping a layer of butter onto the bread.

I didn't have a knife, so I skipped the final step, which is cutting the bread into triangles. Then, I devoured the dish.

The dessert reminded me of my favorite childhood snack — cinnamon sugar toast — and I, too, rejoiced in the nostalgia of the dish.
