Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon sugar (for topping)
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, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle.
Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, gathering and re-rolling scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle the tops generously with cinnamon sugar.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges and puffed up.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
