Make Cinnamon Sugar

For a satisfying addition to many desserts, creating a cinnamon sugar mixture may do the trick. Making this "spice" at home is very inexpensive compared to purchasing the mixture at the supermarket.

Steps

  1. Learn that most people like a proportion scale of 4:1, white granulated sugar to ground cinnamon. A typical measurement is 1/4 cup sugar to 1 tablespoon cinnamon, as this balances out the sweetness of the sugar to the cinnamon spice. Other proportions varies from 3:1 to 12:1 ratio.
    • 1/4 cup sugar to 4 teaspoons cinnamon or a 3:1 ratio
    • 1/4 cup sugar to 2 teaspoons cinnamon or a 6:1 ratio
    • 1/2 cup sugar to 1 tablespoon cinnamon or a 8:1 ratio
    • 2 tablespoons sugar to 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon or a 8:1 ratio
    • 1 tablespoon sugar to 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or a 12:1 ratio
  2. Measure out the granulated white sugar in a small bowl.
  3. Measure out and add the cinnamon to the bowl.
  4. Mix thoroughly. Add more of each ingredient until you get the right spice taste.
  5. Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to a variety of desserts and meals. Some recipe suggestions include:
  6. Store any leftover mixture in an airtight container in room temperature.
