CINNAMON ORNAMENTS image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c. ground cinnamon
1 1/2-2 c flour, plus more for kneading
2 c. water
cookie cutters
ribbon, yarn or fishline for hanging
straw to make holes
plastic mats to work on
rolling pins and plastic jars for rolling

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil in a medium aucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon. As you stir, it will become shiny and pull away from the sides of the pot into a single mass. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. You may have to knead the last half cup of flour into the dough if it's too hard to stir. Turn out onto floured mat or counter and knead, adding flour as needed until it resembles a pliable cookie dough. Pinch off some dough and roll (or pat) out. Thicker seems to work better than too thin. Cut out. Make hole for hanging with a straw or pencil if desired. Leave to dry for a couple of days.
