Pain Au Sucre(Sugar House Maple Toast)

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.
