Easy Cinnamon Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening.
• Add milk and 1 tsp. vanilla; stir with fork just until dough leaves sides of bowl.
• Roll dough out, on lightly floured surface, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
• Brush top with butter (I prefer to use soft butter rather than melted).
• Combine cinnamon and sugar; sprinkle evenly over dough.
• Sprinkle with chopped pecans (or other nuts or raisins) if desired.
• Roll up, starting on long side.
• Cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
• Place rounds, with sides just touching, in greased 9" round pan.
• Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and drizzle with glaze, serve warm.
• For glaze: Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom of an 8-inch round or square baking pan and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
• Combine white sugar, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix filling well.
• Combine confectioners' sugar and milk for glaze in another bowl until well mixed.
• Separate biscuits and roll or punch down each one until flat. Coat with melted butter and sprinkle each with filling mixture to coat. Roll up each piece of dough and cut in 1/2, placing each cut-side down into the prepared pan, yielding 20 pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit portion on top of rolls begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and glaze.

Steps:

• Beat the butter, muscovado sugar, caster sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together with an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until well-combined. Add the egg, flour, baking powder and raisins, if using, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a uniform dough. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls between the palms your hands (you should have 12-15). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm, or overnight. The unbaked dough balls will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months (see tip, below).
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Place the dough balls 3-4cm apart on the prepared baking trays to allow the mixture to spread without touching. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges but still soft and gooey in the centre. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
• Mix the icing sugar with the remaining cinnamon, then dust over the cookies. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
