Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2–3 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.

Step 7

Use a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure flakey layers. Re-roll scraps as needed.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart for crisp edges or touching if you prefer softer sides.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam!
