10 tips for når du lager denne retten

Bruk helmelk eller fløte for en fyldigere smak.
Kutt kanelsnurrer jevnt for jevn tekstur.
La blandingen trekke i 10 minutter før steking hvis du foretrekker en mykere gryte.
Tilsett rosiner, pekannøtter eller eplebiter for variasjon.
Ikke overstek - den skal være gyllen, men fortsatt myk i midten.
Varm glasuren litt før du drypper for jevn.
Server umiddelbart for den beste konsistensen.
Lag på forhånd ved å kjøle over natten og bake om morgenen.
Legg til en kremostglasur for en rikere gryte i dessertstil.
Oppbevar rester i kjøleskapet og varm opp i ovnen for å holde dem klebrige.

Server den med forslag:

Frisk frukt eller bær
Eggerøre eller bacon for kontrast
Varm kaffe eller chai latte
Vaniljeyoghurt eller pisket krem
En skvett ekstra lønnesirup for sødme
