Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 3
Cut in the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Add the milk to the bowl and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and cinnamon together for the topping.
Step 7
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Step 8
Dot the top with the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, breaking it into small pieces.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the cinnamon flop to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
