Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a spacious bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon, whisking until uniform.
- Incorporate the cold, diced butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or your fingertips until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing gently until just combined; avoid overworking the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and lightly knead it a couple of times.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch and use a biscuit cutter or glass to create circular shapes.
- Arrange the shapes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are a light golden brown.
- While the pastries are baking, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the tablespoon of cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once the pastries are finished baking, allow them to cool for about 5 minutes.
- While still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until thoroughly coated.
- Serve warm for a sweet treat!
Notes
- Ensure the butter is chilled for the best texture.
- Do not overwork the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- These bites are best served warm.
