Equipment

pastry blender

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
9 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¾ cup buttermilk* see note
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare all ingredients. Cut 8 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and place in freeze while measuring dry ingredients. If using milk and vinegar to make buttermilk, let sit for 5 minutes while cutting in butter.
Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly incorporate all dry ingredients.
Use a pastry blender to cut in 8 tablespoons of butter. Use a rocking motion to press into butter, working it into flour mixture.
When butter is blended it will give the flour a texture, with flakes of butter throughout.
Add in milk and stir with a spatula. Mixture will not completely come together.
Sprinkle flour on a clean counter top. Pour dough onto countertop. With floured hands press dough together and work together by folding over and pressing together. Work quickly so the heat from your hands doesn’t warm the butter.
Once dough comes together form into rectangle about a ½ inch thick. Sprinkle with a spoonful of cinnamon sugar.
Fold over, press together and form another rectangle. Sprinkle with another spoonful of cinnamon and fold over again. Flatten out into rectangle again.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut dough into rounds. You should get 4-6 depending on the size of your cutter.
Lay each round on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown onto. Remove from oven and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar.
Serve immediately with extra butter, honey or jam.

Notes

*If you do not have buttermilk on hand you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to milk.
