In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, 50 grams sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution.
02 -
Add milk, 28 grams melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture; stir thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
03 -
Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) and allow it to fully preheat.
04 -
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out evenly to an approximate thickness of 3 millimeters.
05 -
Remove the top parchment sheet, then cut the dough into 1.25 centimeter-square pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
06 -
Transfer the parchment with cut dough to a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the pieces turn golden brown and crisp.
07 -
While baking, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and melt the butter separately.
08 -
Remove baked squares from the oven, brush with melted butter immediately, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top while warm; allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

Once cooled, separate any pieces stuck together and serve fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to seven days.
