Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps of dough, gently press them together, and cut more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once the biscuits are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the warm biscuits.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Cinnamon Biscuits!
