Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a warm, sweet bark spice, sold as sticks or ground to a fine powder. Most of our recipes use it in the oven, in Soft Apple Cinnamon Cookies, Carrot Cake and Brown Butter Sourdough Discard Granola, though One-Pan Golden Butter Chicken shows it works in a curry too. It spreads most evenly when whisked in with the dry ingredients.
