Cinnamon Sugar

Cinnamon sugar is simply that: a mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar that can be sprinkled on buttered toast, Mexican sopapillas (fried dough) and buñuelos (batter fritters), German snickerdoodle cookies, French toast, and coffee cake.

½ cup sugar
2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon

Use true (soft-stick) cinnamon for mild, aromatic flavour; use cassia cinnamon for bolder, spicier flavour. Or crush 1 cinnamon stick and grind in a spice grinder with ¼ cup sugar until a fine powder is formed, then mix in ¼ cup more sugar.
