CINNAMON SQUARES



Cinnamon Squares image

You could think of these cinnamon squares as the wintry brother of tangy, summery lemon bars, but what they really are is shortbread topped with a cinnamon-infused glaze, perfect with a cup of tea or a mug of coffee. And it is a reassuringly straightforward recipe. Make the crust and press it into a pan, bake it and let it cool. Drizzle a warm cinnamon glaze over it, cut and serve. Inhaling is wonderful; eating is even better.

Time 45m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into small cubes
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cane syrup like Lyle's Golden Syrup (or substitute dark corn syrup)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Prepare base: heat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, combine confectioners' sugar, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Pulse until free of lumps. Scatter butter cubes across top and pulse again until mixture is crumbly and beginning to come together.
  • Press mixture evenly into a shallow 9- to 9 1/2-inch square baking pan. Bake until shortbread is firm, barely colored and no longer has a sheen on its surface, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack until warm.
  • While shortbread cools, prepare icing: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and syrup together. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon until free of lumps. Remove from heat and allow to cool just until slightly thickened. Whisk again and pour over warm shortbread, using a spatula to reach edges. Allow to cool completely, then cut into 16 squares.

These doughnuts are a favorite of our three grown children. Make them up at night-next morning, it's quick and easy to roll them out and fry them when everyone else's getting ready for the day.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the squares will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the squares dry.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cinnamon squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party.
