2 ½ oz flour
2 eggs
1 ½ oz butter
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoons icing sugar (mix the icing sugar with the powdered cinnamon)
1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon

Place water, butter and salt in pan, and boil. Add in all the flour. Stir till well mixed and mixture leaves sides of pan and can form a ball.
Remove from fire. Cool. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat until light, adding the baking powder.
