minutesThis is a recipe I came across years ago. A friend had brought it as a snack to a Bible study and I just had to have the recipe. I like to make this when I have a sudden craving for something hot and cinnamon-y. Try it and you’ll be hooked too.

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
