Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuits

Aren't biscuits just about the perfect food? We love them here in the SFFS house. Breakfast, lunch or dinner....we are fans. They're also great for dessert or as a little sweet treat. Try these fun biscuits with some apple butter! They're not as hard to make as you might think!

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuits



1/4 cup sugar ~ divided use
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons COLD butter ~ cut into small cubes
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter ~ melted

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

In a small bowl, measure out 3 tablespoons of the sugar. Combine with the cinnamon. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar.

Cut the 6 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles peas.

Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat gently into an 8-inch circle.

Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture then fold dough in half and press down gently to make the dough a little bigger.

Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter and place on prepared greased cookie sheet.

Brush biscuits with melted butter then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture.
