Pinch cinnamon

1/4 cup water

My comfort zone is quite small...I made this and then was hesitant to try it! I almost used syrup on my pancakes....the old comfort zone you know...well I didn't and to my amazement and pleasure this was wonderful. I will be making this agian during the holidays and I hope my family will like it as much as I do.
