This sounds like "French toast," which is very popular breakfast fare in
North America.  It has a sweet touch, though, less so from sugar than from
maple syrup.

Related to this is _klaks_ (<Klacks>, cf. German _Klecks_, Dutch
_klodder_)
denoting a spot or stain, such as on clothing or on a tablecloth.

Groeten,
