Cinnamon Shortcakes

By Traceylu-2

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbls sugar
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold butter
• 1 Tbls baking powder
• 1-2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbls vanilla sugar
• 2/3 to 3/4 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease cookie sheet and set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla sugar into a large bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces, and rub into the flour mix until it resembles small peas. Add 2/3 cup milk and stir by hand until combined. If too dry, add the rest of the milk. Turn on to floured surface. Knead briefly, then roll out, leaving dough thick - about 3/4" or so. Use a biscuit cutter or round clean jar to cut the shortcakes. Brush tops with milk, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and risen high. Remove from pan immediately. Let cool, split and serve with strawberries and whipped cream.
