Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup whole milk, cold
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons raw sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the cold milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the milk and vanilla mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (do not roll it out to prevent overworking).

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.

Step 8

Gather the leftover dough, pat it together gently, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish, and sprinkle with raw sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam!
