Apparently the Amish have a different definition of the word flop, because none of the Englishers in this household considered this bread to be a flop.

Amish Cinnamon Flop Bread Ingredients:

Amish Cinnamon Flop Bread Directions:

Sift sugar, flour and baking powder together. Add melted butter and milk. Stir together until well blended.

Divide mixture between two 9″ well greased cake pans. The batter is very thick and you will wonder how you’re going to use this to cover the bottoms of two pans. But trust me, it will happen.
