Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits

What goes great with a nice beef stew? How about cinnamon biscuits for dessert with some good coffee.

For something a bit different, these are lightly sweet biscuits. Go really good with a spicy or savory dish. I like it with beef stew.  Or on a cold morning with coffee.

Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup vegetable oil or butter
• 4 tbsp buttermilk powder
• ¾ cup water
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

bowl & 9” round baking pan, greased

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, & buttermilk powder in bowl, mix well. Stir in vegetable oil. Add water and stir until just blended. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll out into a 15×8” rectangle. Spread with butter, mix cinnamon & sugar and sprinkle evenly over butter. Roll up dough in jelly roll fashion. Pinch to seal seam. Cut roll into 1-½ “ slices. Arrange slices, cut side up in baking pan. Bake at 425° until lightly browned, approx. 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.

EDIT:  I keep buttermilk powder on hand in the pantry.  But if you want to use fresh buttermilk, use 3/4 cup and skip the water.
