Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.

Step 7

Transfer the dough strips to the prepared baking sheet, placing them approximately 1 inch apart.

Step 8

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the dough strips with melted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cinnamon sticks are golden and slightly crisp around the edges.

Step 11

Optional: Once the cinnamon sticks have cooled for a few minutes, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
