Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour, ground cinnamon, and granulated Splenda or sugar.

Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms, using a wooden spoon or your hands to knead.

Sprinkle the countertop with flour.

Roll out the dough thinly, as it will puff up when baked. Sprinkle with additional flour if needed.

Transfer the dough to a cookie tray. Then cut the dough into squares and brush with melted butter.

Mix granulated Splenda or sugar with ground cinnamon and generously sprinkle over the buttered dough.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the desired texture is achieved.

Allow the squares to cool slightly, then transfer them to a bowl and sprinkle with more cinnamon, splenda, or sugar if desired.

Enjoy the process of creating these delightful cinnamon-puffed squares. Serve with a refreshing glass of cold milk.
