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
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and spray an 8-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour in buttermilk. Stir until a dough forms.
  5. 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
  1. 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
  1. In a medium bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Serve with warm biscuits.
