The Classic:  Have a shaker or bowl of powdered sugar and thick wedges of lemon at the table.  Sprinkle sugar on hot pastry and then squeeze lemon over it.


Cinnamon: Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture and a squeeze of lemon juice. 


Hot Fruit:  Saute some fresh apple or pear slices in a little butter until tender and translucent.  Sweeten with sugar or honey to taste and offer with cinnamon-sugar mixture and sour cream or yogurt.


Tropical:  Heat banana and papaya slices in melted butter over medium heat, turning until hot. Serve with lime wedges.

Canned Pie Filling:  Try cherry, apple or blueberry pie filling, cold or warm.  Add lemon juice and ground cinnamon to taste.  Serve with yogurt or sour cream.

"This is one of my favorite things to make in the evening when I'm hungry, but not sure exactly what I'm in the mood for.  I usually just top it with powdered sugar, but it can be topped with just about anything." - April Ferre
