Make small, soft biscuit bites coated heavily in a buttery cinnamon sugar mixture. These are simple to prepare and perfect for a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dough)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup cold milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar for the dough.
  3. Cut the cold butter pieces into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the cold milk all at once. Stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.
  6. Use a small round cutter (about 1.5 inches) to cut out small circles. Reroll scraps once if needed. Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
  8. While the biscuits bake, prepare the coating. In a small bowl, combine the 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Melt the 1/2 cup butter in a separate shallow dish.
  9. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, dip each warm biscuit first into the melted butter, letting excess drip off, and then roll it thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  10. Place the coated biscuit bites on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For the softest texture, make sure your milk and butter are very cold before mixing the dough.
  • If you prefer a slightly more doughnut-hole appearance, you can drop spoonfuls of dough instead of cutting circles, but the texture will be less uniform.
  • You can use a 1-inch biscuit cutter for smaller bites or a 2-inch cutter for larger ones. Adjust baking time slightly if you change the size.
