Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened, for cinnamon butter)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon butter)
• 1 tablespoon honey (for cinnamon butter)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped pecans to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.

Step 7

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed, being careful not to overwork the dough. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.

Step 8

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the biscuits bake, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and honey until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Serve the warm cinnamon pecan biscuits with a generous dollop of cinnamon butter. Enjoy!
