Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork, until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and light brown sugar.
Brush the surface of the dough with melted butter and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 8 strips lengthwise. Stack the strips on top of each other, creating a single thick stack, then cut the stack into 8 equal pieces.
Place each piece into a greased muffin tin, fanning out the layers slightly to create a fan shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Biscuit Fans!
