Preheat your 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, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed 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.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk and vanilla extract.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round and use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Reshape the scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy plain or with butter, jam, or honey to taste.
