A Week of Treats. Day 3

Day 3.

I blame Pinterest and the fact that I had every single item on the recipe in my cabinet.
Also, let me say, Perfecto with a cup o' joe!

Cinnamon Breakfast Bites.

So easy recipe. 30 minutes to make 30 bites and the house smells so homey for a few hours.
1-1/3 C.  all-purpose flour
1 C.  crisp rice cereal, coarsely crushed
2 Tbl plus 1/2 C. sugar, divided
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 C. butter-flavored shortening
1/2 C. milk
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 C. butter, melted

Preheat oven to 425.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cereal, 2 Tbl sugar, baking powder, and salt, cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Shape into ping pong balls.

In a shallow bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar. Dip balls into the melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture

Arrange in a single layer in an 8-in. round baking pan. Bake at 425 for about 15-18 minutes.
