Cinnamon Biscuit

As my brother said...dinner was good but then dessert came out. And it was good! I may not make the most  visually appealing food, but it sure does taste delicious. Yummy, moist biscuits with cinnamon and sugar with a hint of vanilla - what could be better? I apologize for the blurry picture, I thought I had a good one...I was wrong. This was the least blurry of the lot.

This recipe was taken from Two Peas & Their Pod.


Cinnamon Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar, divided
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, divided
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups heavy cream, divided
• 1/2 cup cinnamon chips, divided
• 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Heat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and set aside.


In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt, breaking up any large clumps in the brown sugar. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the cream and mix just until combined. Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a long, thick rectangle (about 8x16). The dough will be firm, yet wet and sticky.


Slice the rectangle into 8 equally-sized squares. Lay four of the squares in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and half of the cinnamon chips over each square. Place the remaining biscuit dough squares on top and lightly press the edges to seal. Top the biscuits with the remaining cinnamon chips.


Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are slightly golden brown on the outside and just cooked through.


Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup cream, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla extract. Lightly drizzle the biscuits with this glaze. Serve immediately.
