Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup milk (optional)

Steps

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir in the oil, then add the buttermilk and stir just until blended.
2. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, then roll out into a 15 x 8-inch rectangle.
3. Heat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
4. Spread the softened butter over the dough. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it over the butter.
5. Roll up jelly-roll style from one long side and pinch the seam to seal.
6. Cut into 1 1/2-inch slices and arrange them cut side up in the pan.
7. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. If you like, pour the milk over the top as they come out of the oven. Serve hot.

Notes

Tip from the card: try adding about 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar filling — it goes great with coffee.
