Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed (or vegan butter/coconut oil for vegan version)
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan butter)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar until evenly combined. This ensures every biscuit is evenly flavored with the perfect cinnamon sugar mix.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
  3. Add the Liquid: Gradually pour in the milk or buttermilk, stirring gently just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and tender.
  4. Shape and Coat: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Slice into squares or use a biscuit cutter. Brush each piece lightly with melted butter, then generously sprinkle a cinnamon sugar blend over the tops.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Arrange biscuits on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect warm, crunchy cinnamon sugar crust.

Notes

  • Keep the butter cold to create flaky layers and tender biscuits.
  • Do not overwork or overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Brushing with melted butter before sprinkling cinnamon sugar is key for a delicious crust.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
