Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add the milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s about ⅛ inch thick.
Cut the Dough: Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares, about ½ inch each. Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto a baking sheet.
Bake the Cereal: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the squares are golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Topping: While the cereal is baking, mix together 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter.
Coat the Cereal: Once the cereal is baked, remove it from the oven and brush the melted butter over the top. Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cereal while it’s still warm.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cereal to cool completely on a cooling rack. Once cooled, break apart any squares that are stuck together. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
