Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 0.5 cup cinnamon sugar for coating

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt together.
  2. Stir in the milk, egg, and two tablespoons of the melted butter until smooth.

  4. Bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes until springy, then cool a couple minutes.

Notes

Coat them while still warm so the sugar clings to every bite.
