Make a cinnamon-honey coating by mixing to a paste-like texture
Mix cinnamon with a small squeeze of honey until it forms a thick, coat-able cinnamon paste.
Combine cinnamon and a little honey, adjusting the honey amount until the mixture reaches a thick texture that clings well. This creates a quick coating without needing a separate syrup.
The short version
- Add honey gradually to control thickness
- Aim for a paste that clings for better coating
