Intro: How to Make Cinnamon Sugar


This is an Instructable on how to make cinnamon sugar...

You can use cinnamon sugar on buttered toast or topping for quick breads, cobblers, muffins, coffee cakes, oatmeal, applesauce or just about any dessert or breakfast bread.

STEP 1: Ratio

Ingredients:

Typical proportions of sugar to cinnamon range from 3:1 to 16:1. 

1/4 cup granulated sugar to 3-4 teaspoons ground cinnamon. (4:1 to 3:1)
1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 2-3 teaspoon ground cinnamon. (6:1 to 4:1)
1/2 cup granulated sugar to 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. (8:1)
1/2 cup granulated sugar to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. (12:1)
1/2 cup granulated sugar to 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (16:1)

Note: I find that my favorite ratio is (16:1) but included the others for you to decide.

STEP 2: Mixing Ingredients

Mixin'

I find this step to be the most troubling, It never ceases to amaze me how well the two substances mix... they must have been meant for each other.

I suggest getting a container that has a lid and mixing by shaking, if you are totally clueless to what I just said then look at the pictures...

STEP 3: Enjoying


Nom Nom, congratulations you made cinnamon sugar...  that is if you were successful other wise you may have created a hazardous bi-product of sugar and unidentified materials.  If you have indeed created a disaster I suggest disposing of it and starting over. 

All feed back is welcome, thanks.

I mixed at 4:1, then added a few sliced strips of vanilla to the jar.

Measurements of both would make this a lot better/more useful.
