This is the second time I have made
these beautiful cinnamon morsels. How does everyone feel about
cinnamon? It is my favourite spice and has been for many years now.
There is nothing more inviting than walking into a bakery, a
supermarket, or your own kitchen, that smells of warm cinnamon. Some
say it's purely a Christmas spice. I think this is horribly
restrictive and my taste buds couldn't cope without it for long! So
it lives with me all year long. I love it in cakes, biscuits,
porridge. It's the spice that just keeps on giving.
I made these from one of my favourite
baking books, Homestyle Cookies, Muffins and Cakes. It can be bought
here from The Book People for anyone who would like to buy it. It's
a fabulous book with lots of choice. It's a go to book for me as I
have made three or four things out of it which have been a success.
The picture in the book is a little
deceiving compared with my results though. They look like they have
a lot of depth and mine look about half the size of them.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, if at all, as I
know pictures in books can be misleading. Sometimes I could do with a
50p for scale so I can compare!
Despite the discrepancy in size, they
are absolutely gorgeous. They taste like cinnamon brownies to me.
Very rich, dense and soft. I like that they wouldn't win the competition for the prettiest cakes, as sometimes you really don't want to slave away crumb coating on a Sunday!
I love cinnamon and these look absolutely yum!! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOooh I love cinnamon and browned butter! These look amazinggg!
ReplyDeleteThey really are something else! I'd never tried anything with browned butter in before too. Any recommendations welcome! xx
DeleteLovely tea time treat with cinnamon! Would love to have a piece of these delicious teacakes now! YUM! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Definitely a lovely tea time treat with a nice cup of tea :-)
DeleteCinnamon brownies sound absolutely delicious! I love love LOVE cinnamon! I'll happily have it all year round. Have you tried chai tea lattes with the cinnamon on top? AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThe only recipe I've tried with browned butter was a white chocolate and raspberry blondie recipe from bbc good food. They were really good.
Chai tea lattes! Yes I have, my favourites are from Cafe Nero, I think they're really tasty :-)
DeleteOh yeah actually, I think I tried Edd Kimber's blondie recipe that might have been browned butter. I'm not sure what browned butter does to the recipe, but it's obviously lovely! can't we do it all cakes?!
Oh yum - I love anything like this! Spices are so lovely for autumn
