How to make Buttermilk Biscuits with Cinnamon
To make these Cinnamon Biscuits, you will first combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl place the cold butter that has been sliced into cubes, combine the cinnamon and sugar and add to the butter. Using a pastry knife, or two knives, slice the butter until it forms pea sized chunks.
Add the butter that has been covered with cinnamon sugar to the flour mixture. Cut it in using the pastry knife or knives. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until a soft ball of dough has formed.
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead a few times until no longer sticky. Roll out the dough to 1/2-3/4 inch thick and cut with a glass dipped in flour or biscuit cutter.
Bake at 425ºF for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Substitute for Buttermilk
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand for these biscuits, no problem!! You can use regular milk, just reduce it to about 3/4 cup and if the dough is too dry, you can add more a tablespoon at a time.
Another option that I prefer to use is to take one cup of regular milk and add a tablespoon of white vinegar and let it sit for 3-5 minutes until the milk sours.
