Cinnamon Biscuits with Honey Butter

By srumbel

I love the flavor and texture of these sweet biscuits. The cinnamon-sugar on the outside gives them some delicate crispy edges while the inside is soft and fluffy. Paired with the honey butter they’ll easily be devoured at any meal!

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 TBSP baking powder
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup cold butter, diced
• 1 cup milk
• cinnamon-sugar mixture
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 1/3 cup honey

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a 8″ square baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly using a pastry cutter or a fork. Stir in milk just until moistened.

Sprinkle additional sugar on a countertop and scrape dough onto sugar. Sprinkle with more sugar and pat down with your hands until it’s about a 7″ diameter round. Use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, re-shaping the round as necessary to cut additional biscuits. (You’ll get 9-11) Transfer biscuits to prepared pan. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar.

Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown.

To make honey butter: Combine honey and butter in a small food processor or blender. Pulse until combined. Smother on warm cinnamon biscuits. Store leftovers in an airtight container on the countertop for up to a week, or in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
