About Ground Cinnamon
Stir out clumps, fill a dry measuring spoon and sweep off the excess. Grind size affects how much fits, so avoid packing the powder into the spoon.
Ceylon cinnamon and cassia differ in flavour. Keep the type consistent when comparing batches, and mix cinnamon through the dry ingredients unless the recipe uses it in a separate swirl or topping.
