: 10 minutes
-
: 15 minutes
-
: 8 biscuits
:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
-
3/4 cup milk
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (mixture of cinnamon and sugar)
:
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
-
1/4 cup honey
-
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
-
Pinch of salt
-
: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You want to see small pieces of butter remaining – this is what creates those flaky layers!
-
: Pour in the milk and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! The dough will be slightly sticky.
-
: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps to cut out more biscuits.
-
: Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
-
: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the honey butter. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the honey, cinnamon, and salt. Beat until well combined.
-
: Serve the warm biscuits with a generous dollop of honey butter. Enjoy!
-
: Serve alongside scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage for a complete breakfast.
-
: Enjoy as a sweet treat after dinner with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
-
: Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea for an afternoon pick-me-up.
-
: Ideal for holiday breakfasts or potlucks.
-
: Mix chopped pecans or walnuts into the biscuit dough for added flavor and texture.
-
: Add lemon or orange zest to the dough for a bright, citrusy twist.
-
: Experiment with other spices like nutmeg, cardamom, or allspice.
-
: Instead of honey butter, drizzle the warm biscuits with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. Honey butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

I don’t recommend it for this recipe. Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so you’ll need to adjust the recipe accordingly.
-
You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.
-
Overmixing the dough can lead to dry biscuits. Be sure to mix the dough until just combined. Also, avoid overbaking.
-
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
-
For sure! About 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips would be a great addition!
I hope you enjoy these cinnamon biscuits as much as I do! They’re the perfect way to start your day or satisfy your sweet tooth. Let me know in the comments below how they turn out for you, and if you made any fun customizations! Happy baking!
