Tasty Treat Tuesday

These are so delicious and simple you might find yourself baking them every weekend. That is what has happened for us. No special ingredients needed. They have become a Sunday morning treat around here. They're even better when enjoyed with a hot cup of cocoa or tea (or coffee for you liquid dirt addicts. Blech.)

Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuits

1 3/4 c. flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (I love cinnamon, so I put in as much as I feel like)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter or shortening
2/3 c. milk

1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 to 3 tsp. milk

*Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
*In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Using a pastry blender (or 2 knives if you don't have a pastry blender, like me) cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk. Using a fork, stir until just moistened.
*Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough until 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with a floured biscuit cutter (or just flour the top of a drinking glass and use that or you could probably use a cookie cutter shape, like a heart or something.)
*Place biscuits 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. (We never do this step - our's are eaten right out of the oven.)
*Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and enough milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm biscuits. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
