2 tablespoons shortening (or butter if you have none)
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon sugar plus 2 teaspoon cinnamon
Coarse sugar and 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper or grease it.
Whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter
and shortening until pieces are no bigger than small peas. Add
buttermilk and vanilla and stir until the dough mostly comes
together. (You can also do all of these steps in a food processor)
Turn the dough and dry unincorporated bits out onto a well-
floured surface. Knead about about 3-4 times until all the dough
comes together. Shape dough into a square.
Roll the square of dough out about 1/2 inch thick.
Brush/sprinkle the surface of the dough with a little bit of water,
just to dampen it. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture
over 2/3 of the dough. Fold the un-coated third of the dough
over on top of the cinnamon layer, then fold the opposite third
over the top (like folding a letter)
Roll this rectangle out again until it is a little bit more than 1/2
inch thick, sprinkle on the rest of the cinnamon sugar, fold up
like a letter again, then fold into thirds one more time. (you'll end
up with a fat square) Roll dough back out to a 1/2 inch thick
square and cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife.
Place the biscuits on prepared baking sheet, brush with melted
butter, and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 5 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 400 degrees and continue baking for
another 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack and serve!
