These Cinnamon Swirl Biscuits are a delightful twist on classic biscuits, featuring a sweet cinnamon filling and a buttery, flaky texture.
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure they are well combined and to remove any lumps.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to quickly work the butter into the flour mixture, keeping it cold.
Stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 15x8 inches.
Flour your rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.
Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Roll up the dough tightly from one long side and seal the edge.
Use a sharp knife to trim the ends for a neat roll.
Cut the roll into 1.5-inch slices and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
Place the slices close together for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Check for doneness by lightly pressing the tops; they should feel firm.
Drizzle the warm biscuits with milk for a light glaze.
For a sweeter glaze, mix the milk with powdered sugar before drizzling.
Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy.
Pair with a hot beverage for a cozy treat.
