To further the Controversy

First of all, for this post to make any sense you will need to go to my daughter's blog here to read about this scandalous family happening of ours.
Be sure and read all the comments. They're actually the best part.

Go ahead. I promise to wait.

I have decided that since one of our family's most sacred recipes is "out" I might as well stoke the fire by publishing our very most private, never before heard of by anyone outside of the family, secret, no make that super secret, handed down from mother to daughter for more years than anyone can remember, secretest of secret, family recipes.

You can only read the recipe if you promise, on all that you hold sacred and dear, to never, NEVER, ever, even on pain of death, share it with anyone else.

Okay. I realize I am taking my very life in my hands here. I figure though that it is high time that we share this most secret recipe with the rest of the world.

It's really the only decent thing to do.
Drum roll please.
Tataatatatatatatatatatatatatatttttaaaaatttttaaaatttttt

The super secret Brinkerhoff (my maiden name) Family recipe never to be shared with anyone outside of the family. . . . . . . .

You realize, that I will probably lose my rights to the family cookbook after this shameful betrayal.


***************Cinnamon Sugar*****************

1cup sugar

1 T cinnamon

Works best with a food processor. If you don't have one a bowl and spoon will do in a pinch.

CAREFULLY measure out ONE cup of sugar. Absolutely must be ONE cup. Not one cup and one half teaspoon. Not one cup minus a fourth of a teaspoon. EXACTLY ONE CUP.
Just as carefully measure out one tablespoon of cinnamon. Same stringent rules apply as for the sugar.

Now this is where it gets really tricky.

With the utmost of care, pour the sugar into food processor making sure to not let even one grain fall on the counter. As stated earlier, in case of no food processor a bowl may be used.

(Results not guaranteed with this method however.)
With equal care pour in the one tablespoon of sugar.
Now, turn on and process for exactly one minute and twelve seconds. If doing by hand set timer to one minute, twelve seconds, and stir carefully so as not to cause any to fly out of the bowl.

If you have followed these instruction to the letter hopefully you will have a successful batch of Cinnamon sugar.
I realize that with a recipe of this extreme difficulty that it sometimes can take years to perfect your technique. Don't be discouraged. Keep at it and one day you will be able to make a cinnamon sugar that even great, great, great, great, (twice removed) aunt Bertha would be proud to call her own.

Suggested uses for cinnamon sugar:

Sprinkle on toast after buttering.

Sprinkle over any baked apple recipe.

This is also the secret ingredient for another super, super, secret family recipe called Cinnamon Rolls. I don't dare mention anything more about what those are however. I do have to live with these people in my family you know.

Well, I have risked quite a lot to sneak this secret recipe out of the family recipe vault. I'm sorry for the level of difficulty, and I most sincerely hope that you can master it and try for yourself the heavenly delights of
Cinnamon sugar

Shhhhhhhh, you didn't hear it from me.

Oooops. Thank you little brother for pointing out my mistake here. I said to put in a Tablespoon of sugar. I meant cinammon of course. I think that my inate fear of the atrocity I was committing must have overcome me. So take away that extra tablespoon of sugar and make it cinammon.

Oh NOOOOO!
I think I hear them coming!

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
