28 grams unsalted butter, melted
03 -
60 millilitres milk
04 -
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

14 grams unsalted butter, melted
10 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 -
25 grams granulated sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab your big bowl and toss in baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar, and flour. Mix it all up until it looks super even.
02 -
Pour in vanilla, melted butter, and milk. Use a spatula and mix until you have a dough that sticks together.
03 -
Turn your oven on to 175°C. Roll your dough out to about 3 millimetres thick between two pieces of parchment.
04 -
Take off the top sheet of parchment. Cut the rolled dough into squares about 1.25 centimetres wide using a knife or pizza cutter. Move the whole thing onto a baking tray, keeping it on the parchment.
05 -
Let the tray hang out in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. When those little squares are crunchy and golden, you’re all set.
06 -
While the cereal bakes, grab a tiny bowl and stir together cinnamon and sugar. Melt the butter in a different bowl.
07 -
Once the squares are still warm but out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter. Shake your sugar-cinnamon mix over everything.
08 -
Pop all the cereal onto a rack to cool down. If any stick together, just break them apart. Eat now or stash in a sealed container for up to a week.
# Notes:
01 -
Your cereal will get crunchier if you let it cool off totally before putting it away.
