Ingredients

  • Standard Ratio (4:1)

  • 4 parts granulated sugar
  • 1 part ground cinnamon
  • Example: 1 cup sugar + 1/4 cup cinnamon
  • Stronger Spice Ratio (3:1)
  • Use this version if you prefer a bolder cinnamon flavor and a darker color.
  • 3 parts granulated sugar
  • 1 part ground cinnamon
  • Example: 3/4 cup sugar + 1/4 cup cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Measure: Choose your preferred ratio based on how much cinnamon flavor you enjoy.
  2. Mix: Place the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl or a clean, dry jar.
  3. Combine: Use a whisk or a fork to stir until the color is uniform and there are no clumps of cinnamon remaining. If using a jar, simply seal the lid and shake vigorously.
  4. Store: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will stay fresh as long as the individual ingredients' expiration dates allow.

Notes

Tammy's Tips

For an extra special touch, try using a high-quality Saigon cinnamon for a more intense aroma and flavor. This mixture isn't just for dumplings; it's fantastic when sprinkled over buttered toast or used to coat the edges of homemade snickerdoodles!
