Breakfast Cinnamon Bites

1. Mix flour, crushed cereal, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
2. Add shortening and mix in with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add milk and stir into the dough.
4. Roll doll into small balls (about 2 dozen)
5. Mix cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl.
6. Drop the balls into melted butter and roll in cinnamon mixture.
7. Place balls onto a greased pan (uses a cookie sheet if you want them to stay round, or for a fun monkey bread look, put in a round pan).
8. Cook for 15 minutes at 425ºF.

Notes:
These taste better cold.
My taste testers liked them better with cream cheese icing.
