Directions

3. Combine the dry ingredients – Stir in the cooled heat-treated flour, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
4. Adjust consistency – If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
5. Enjoy – Scoop and eat immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
