This recipe is so easy – really just my biscuit recipe plus butter/sugar/cinnamon – and the best part is that it’s basic enough that you can put your own twist on it. Try adding Nutella, peanut butter, or nuts (or all three), drizzling icing on top…anything you like really.
What You Need:
2 cups flour (plus more for sprinkling)
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp shortening
1 cup milk
About half a cup of softened butter
About 3/4 cup brown sugar
Cinnamon
What You Do:
1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, then use a pastry cutter (or two knives) to cut in the shortening until you get a pebbly texture.
2. Mix in the milk.
3. Turn out the dough onto a floured countertop or board, and knead a few times (you’ll probably need to flour your hands as well). Use a rolling pin to roll out into an oval approximately 1/4″ thick.
4. Butter the dough, and then generously sprinkle it with brown sugar and cinnamon. Generously, I say! (Trust me.)
5. Gently roll the dough lengthwise into a log shape (you may need to use more flour if it sticks a little to the surface).
6. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1″ rolls.
7. Place on a lightly floured cookie sheet and bake in a 450F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden-brown.
