Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, (cubed)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450f degrees. Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter (or no-stick cooking spray.)
  • In a bowl, add the flour and sugar. Stir well.
  • Then add milk, beaten egg and cubed butter.
  • Stir it all up with a fork and/or a pastry cutter.
  • Continue to mix the ingredients together with the fork until a sticky dough forms.
  • Sprinkle a light coating of flour onto the counter and add the dough.
  • Tip: I like to put some wax paper down on my counter then add the flour (helps with clean up later)
  • Knead the dough about 3 times (pressing the dough onto itself.)
  • Sprinkle a bit more flour on a rolling pin then roll out the dough to about 1/4" thickness.
  • Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 5 or 6 biscuits.
  • In a wide bowl or plate, mix together the cinnamon and sugar topping.
  • Take a little bit of water or milk and lightly coat the biscuits to help the cinnamon sugar mixture stick to them.
  • Coat both sides of each biscuit in cinnamon sugar then place into prepared skillet or baking dish.
  • Pop skillet into the oven and bake for about 15-17 minutes. They will puff up a bit and will have a light brown crust on top.
