Cinnamon Biscuits

These are so amazing! You must make some soon, they would make an awesome base for a strawberry shortcake. Or to have as snack. Or to sneak all day. Delicious!

They don't look like much, these little babies. But the taste, oh the taste. These are like cinnamon toast and biscuits collided to make a delicious new treat.

Can you see the yummy cinnamon and sugar topping? It gets kind of crispy and crunchy.

Ok, enough drooling. Let's get to making these yummy little numbers.

Recipe:

2 cups flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup milk

Topping:

1/4 cup sugar

sprinkle of cinnamon

Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Add the shortening and mix. When it resembles course crumbs, add the milk and mix to combine. Generously flour your counter and turn the dough out. Knead gently about 10 times and then flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out with a floured round cutter or a floured glass. Place onto cookie sheet and sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar if desired. Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
