How to Make Cinnamon Biscuit Fans

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 8 medium muffin cups (2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches).
  2. In a large bowl, cut the chilled butter into the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and salt using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually stir in the milk until the dough just comes together and forms a ball. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 10 times.
  5. Roll the dough into a 12x10 inch rectangle.
  6. Spread the 3 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough rectangle.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  9. Cut the rectangle crosswise into 6 strips (10x2 inches).
  10. Stack the strips neatly on top of each other.
  11. Cut the stack crosswise into 8 pieces.
  12. Place the biscuit pieces cut-side up into the prepared muffin cups.
  13. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Immediately remove the biscuits from the muffin tin and let cool slightly.
  15. Drizzle generously with powdered sugar glaze (recipe below) while still warm.
  16. Serve warm and enjoy!
