Step 3: Cut in the Cold Butter
Add cold butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers, a pastry cutter, or two forks, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small bits of butter are key—they melt during baking and create tender, flaky biscuits.
Step 4: Add the Milk
Slowly pour in the milk or buttermilk, stirring gently just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should look slightly shaggy but hold its shape.
Step 5: Shape the Bite-Size Biscuits
Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Their small size helps them bake evenly and makes them perfect for snacking.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the bottoms are set. The biscuits should be soft inside but fully baked through.
Step 7: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
While the biscuits are baking, melt butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined.
Step 8: Coat the Biscuits
Once the biscuits come out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Dip each warm biscuit into the melted butter, then roll it generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 9: Serve Warm and Enjoy
Arrange the biscuits on a plate and serve while they’re still warm. The butter helps the cinnamon sugar stick, creating a sweet, slightly crunchy coating around each fluffy bite.
Serving Ideas and Variations
- With a dip: Serve with vanilla glaze, cream cheese frosting, or honey
- Extra indulgent: Drizzle with a light icing for a dessert-style finish
- Spiced twist: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar
