Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and 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 rectangle.
Using a biscuit cutter or the top of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut more biscuits as needed.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for extra sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
