Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the milk into the mixture and gently stir just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round.
Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps, reshape them, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for coating.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the tops.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed and lightly golden on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cinnamon Sugar Biscuits with coffee, tea, or as a standalone treat!
