Cinnamon
Ground cinnamon is indispensable for anyone who loves baking. This warm spice instantly adds flavour to cakes, biscuits, breakfasts and drinks.
What is ground cinnamon?
Ground cinnamon, also known as powdered cinnamon, is made by finely grinding cinnamon sticks. It has a warm, sweet flavour and blends easily into dough and batter. This makes it ideal for cakes, biscuits and even savoury dishes.
Why choose ground cinnamon?
Unlike cinnamon sticks, which release their flavour slowly, ground cinnamon mixes directly into batter. This makes it popular with both home bakers and professionals.
Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon?
Cinnamon is available as sticks and as powder. Sticks are perfect for drinks such as mulled wine, chai and stews, as they gradually release their flavour. Ground cinnamon blends instantly, making it more convenient for baking.
What can you use ground cinnamon for?
Ground cinnamon is incredibly versatile:
• Baking: apple pie, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon cake and sweet buns.
• Breakfast: porridge, pancakes and smoothies.
• Drinks: a touch in hot chocolate or cappuccino.
• Snacks: homemade granola or brownies.
Ground cinnamon as decoration
Ground cinnamon is not only delicious, but also attractive as a finishing touch. Sprinkle a little over cappuccino, whipped cream, tiramisu or desserts for an artisanal look.
Which pack sizes are available?
At Baktotaal you can buy ground cinnamon in various sizes. For home bakers, the 100 gram tub from Molen De Hoop is convenient. If you bake frequently or work professionally, choose the 1 kilo pack from Polak. Both brands are known for their consistent quality and rich flavour.
How should you store ground cinnamon?
Store ground cinnamon in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed jar. This will keep it fresh for up to a year. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight, as these can cause it to lose its aroma more quickly.
Baking with cinnamon
Ground cinnamon pairs well with flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, honey and nuts. Fruits such as apple, pear, plums and berries also gain extra depth with a pinch of cinnamon. Looking to try something different? Add ground cinnamon to savoury dishes such as pumpkin soup or stews.
