Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir with a fork until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
  6. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Brush the melted butter over the surface of the dough.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the melted butter.
  9. Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
  11. Place the cinnamon biscuits onto a greased baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each biscuit.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
