Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 pound butter

Instructions

  1. Cream 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 cup of sugar together.
  2. Sift together 2 cups of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
  3. Alternate adding milk and the dry mixture into the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until smooth.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar in place of some granulated sugar or adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you're out of milk, you can substitute with almond milk or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option. Ensure that the butter is softened for easier creaming. This recipe can also be made with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.

Serving Suggestions

This delightful cinnamon flop is perfect for breakfast or as a dessert. Serve it warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. For an extra treat, serve alongside a warm cup of coffee or tea.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate, where it can last up to a week. To reheat, warm slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a toaster oven until just heated through, retaining its soft texture.
