The method
Step by step
- 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisking the dry ingredients first helps prevent the flour from clumping when you add the liquid.

Gradually pour in the water while continuously whisking to create a smooth, lump-free mixture.
About 1 min

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently.

About 3 min
Cook’s note: The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
