Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly until well blended with no lumps.
- Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Incorporate Milk: Pour the whole milk into the mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together, taking care not to overmix for a tender biscuit texture.
- Knead and Roll Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Roll it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle or square for even biscuit baking.
- Cut Biscuit Bites: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1 to 1.5 inch bite-sized squares or rectangles. Place these evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Brush the tops of the biscuit bites with melted butter, then generously sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake: Bake the biscuit bites in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top for a perfectly baked treat.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature to enjoy their best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use cold butter for flaky, tender biscuits.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits light and soft.
- These biscuit bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently.
- You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
