Ingredients
Cinnamon Biscuits
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon,
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) cold salted butter, cubed
- 1 cup (245 g) buttermilk
Cinnamon Biscuit Topping
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Honey Butter
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Cinnamon Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F and spray an 8-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into smaller cubes, incorporating them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in buttermilk. Stir until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Using your fingers, press dough down into a flat square about 1-inch thick. Using a round cutter (I used a 3-inch round), cut dough into rounds and transfer to the prepared cake pan. Bring together any leftover dough scraps and repeat. I was able to make 6 biscuits.
Cinnamon Biscuit Topping
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the biscuits. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden. Let cool slightly in the pan before serving.
Honey Butter
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Serve with warm biscuits.
