Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Cut the cold, diced butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract.
Add the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and brown sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
Fold the dough in half over the cinnamon-sugar layer and lightly press it together. Roll it out again to about 1-inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Gather any remaining scraps of dough, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits (avoid overworking the dough).
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for extra sweetness.
