1. Empty the bag of flour into the large metal bowl. Add the cornmeal, and tapioca starch, and combine them with your hands.
2. Add 1/4 cup of water at a time and use it to moisten the flour mixture. I usually end up using 2 and 1/2 cups to 3 full cups. Take a handful of the flour mixture and make a fist to squeeze it in the palm of your hand. If it sticks together without falling apart, that means you have enough water. If the flour mixture is powdery or falls apart when you unclench your fist, you need more water.
3. Add the sugar and cinnamon and continue to mix using your hands.
