Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Butter

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk (room temperature)

Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather all dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar—and whisk them together in a large bowl to ensure even distribution before adding wet ingredients.
  2. Cut in the butter: Using chilled unsalted butter cut into small cubes, work it into the dry mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, creating a flaky texture.
  3. Add milk and form the dough: Gradually pour in the milk while stirring gently. Mix just until the dough comes together; it should be soft but not sticky. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough biscuits.
  4. Shape and coat with cinnamon sugar: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat to about half an inch thickness. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out biscuit shapes. Dip each biscuit into the cinnamon sugar mix, coating thoroughly for a sweet finishing touch.
  5. Bake to golden perfection: Place the coated biscuits on a lined baking tray with space between each. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy on the edges.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold until the last moment to ensure flaky texture.
  • Mix dough just until combined to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon for a more vibrant flavor.
  • Room temperature milk helps smooth mixing and even baking.
  • Bake on the middle rack for even heat distribution and perfect cooking.
