Cinnamon sugar is a product used in confectionery, but not just it. It sweetens and flavors coffee, milk, hot chocolate or tea.
It is extremely widely used in cinnamon cakes, dessert creams and pastries.
We can buy cinnamon sugar ready in packets, but why do it when it's so easy to make yourself? The advantages are that it is much more economical and we can create a proportion that suits our own taste.
To prepare cinnamon sugar, you do not need special complex instructions, but with just a few steps, a minute of time and a pinch of love and desire you will have your own aromatic spice.
1/2 cup of sugar is needed and 4-5 tsp. of cinnamon powder. The amounts can vary according to your taste and the intensity of the aroma you want to achieve.
The cinnamon is added to the sugar spoon by spoon and it's mixed well, or the two products are mixed in a dry jar and shaken several times until the mixture has turned into one color. Store it in the same jar. This is how simple it is to make cinnamon sugar.
There is another option, no less easy for finer cinnamon sugar. For this you need a cinnamon stick and a cup of crystal sugar. Everything is grinded into a fine powder in a blender and stored again in a dry, well-closed glass jar.
Personally, I prefer the second option, because the aroma of a real cinnamon stick cannot be compared to the ready-made powder, as it often contains artificial impurities or flavors.
It's so simple and easy to make cinnamon sugar at home. That way you save money and enjoy delicious desserts and aromatic drinks.
Try apple and cinnamon cake - the aroma is captivating. Or make our favorite cinnamon pie sprinkled with homemade cinnamon sugar and you'll be very pleased.
Put a teaspoon of it in rice pudding while you cook it, or make toast, spread it with butter and sprinkle it with the aromatic spice - it's incredible!
