Cinnamon sugar is a beloved ingredient in many households, used to add a touch of sweetness and warmth to a variety of dishes. While it can easily be purchased from the store, making your homemade cinnamon sugar can be a fun and rewarding experience. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also allows for customization and the use of higher-quality ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
- Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips:
- Adjust the ratio: Play around with the cinnamon-to-sugar ratio to find your sweet spot. Many people recommend starting with a 1:4 ratio (1 part cinnamon to 4 parts sugar).
- High-quality cinnamon: The quality of your cinnamon will make a difference. Look for Ceylon cinnamon for a milder, sweeter flavour.
- Storage: Homemade cinnamon sugar will last for months in an airtight container.
Variations:
- Add other spices: Add a pinch of ground nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, or cloves for a more complex flavour.
- Coarse sugar: Try using coarse sugar (like turbinado) for a fun textural element.
How to use your cinnamon sugar:
- Sprinkle on toast or oatmeal
- Top baked goods like muffins, cookies, or bread
