Ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp

1. Place all the ingredients in a microwave-proof mug and beat together well with a fork to form a thick batter. If too thick, add a little more milk. If runny, add a little more flour.
2. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 2 mins or until risen and cooked through. You can also bake this in an oven at 180°C, gas mark 4 for 15 mins.
3. Top with toasted almonds, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
