Make small, soft biscuit bites coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture. This recipe yields tender, snackable treats perfect for a quick sweet bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dough)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of sugar for the dough.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the cold milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix; the dough will be sticky.
  5. In a small, shallow dish, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon for the coating.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
  8. While the biscuits are baking, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter.
  9. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops lightly with the melted butter.
  10. Immediately roll or toss the warm biscuits in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  11. Place the coated bites on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For the softest texture, use whole milk and ensure the butter is very cold.
  • If you prefer a more uniform shape, lightly flour your hands and gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then use a small round cutter.
  • You can increase the cinnamon in the coating slightly if you prefer a stronger spice flavor.
