Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the flour-butter mixture and gently mix to distribute evenly.
- Slowly pour in the cold buttermilk, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are touching each other for soft sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Remove biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the prepared glaze while still hot.
- Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, cinnamon-infused biscuits with a cup of coffee or as a delightful breakfast treat.
Tips
- Keep your butter COLD - This is the secret to flaky, tender biscuits. Freeze your butter for 10-15 minutes before cubing for best results.
- Don't overwork the dough! Mix just until ingredients are combined to ensure light, fluffy biscuits.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda to guarantee maximum rise and texture.
- For extra richness, brush the biscuits with melted butter right after glazing.
- If you don't have buttermilk, make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Serve these biscuits warm for the most incredible taste and texture experience!
