Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened, for cinnamon butter)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon butter)
- 1 tablespoon honey (for cinnamon butter)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°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 ground cinnamon.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped pecans to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed, being careful not to overwork the dough. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the biscuits bake, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and honey until smooth and creamy.
Serve the warm cinnamon pecan biscuits with a generous dollop of cinnamon butter. Enjoy!
