Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup milk
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined and the dough comes together.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat or roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over each biscuit.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Serve warm.
Enjoy these Cinnamon Sugar Biscuits as a cozy, sweet treat perfect for any time of the day!
