Snickerdoodle Skillet Biscuits
Snickerdoodle Skillet Biscuits! What?! I think this is my new favorite sweet biscuit! It's got a sweet, slightly crusty exterior and the softest, tender inside. I think this would be amazing for breakfast or dessert. Oh, and maybe some apple butter or pumpkin butter spread on it. Or, how about serving it with some fruit like apples or strawberries or with a drizzle of icing! Holy biscuit batman!
Every biscuit is made better by using White Lily flour. I wouldn't use anything else. It's hands-down the best flour for making biscuits. It is every southern cook's secret weapon. Once you touch this flour for the the first time, you can actually feel the difference.
Ingredients:
for the biscuit:
2 ½ cups White Lily® self-rising flour
1 tbsp. sugar
⅓ cup cold butter, cubed
¾ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
for the biscuit:
2 ½ cups White Lily® self-rising flour
1 tbsp. sugar
⅓ cup cold butter, cubed
¾ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
for the topping:
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450f degrees. Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet (or 8-inch round baking pan) with butter (or no-stick cooking spray.) In a bowl, add the flour and sugar. Stir well. Then add milk, beaten egg and cubed butter. Stir it all up with a fork and/or a pastry cutter. You want to "cut" the butter into the mixture.
Continue to mix the ingredients together with the fork until a sticky dough forms.
Sprinkle a light coating of flour onto the counter and add the dough. Tip: I like to put some wax paper down on my counter then add the flour. This helps with clean up later.
Knead the dough about 3 times. I basically just press the dough in on itself a few times until it's sturdy enough to roll out.
Sprinkle a bit more flour on a rolling pin then roll out the dough to about ¼" thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 5 or 6 biscuits. I cut out 5 biscuits but I could've rolled the dough back up and gotten another biscuit out of it.
In a wide bowl or plate, mix together the cinnamon and sugar topping.
Take a little bit of water or milk and lightly coat the biscuits to help the cinnamon sugar mixture stick to them.
Coat both sides of each biscuit in cinnamon sugar.
Then place into prepared skillet or baking dish.
Pop skillet into the oven and bake for about 15-17 minutes. They will puff up a bit and will have a light brown crust on top.
Enjoy!

Made these this morning for Father's Day. Excellent!
Cream cheese whipped with chopped up strawberries or jam. My grandson wanted crumbled crisp cooked bacon mixed in his cream cheese, so we tried it. Surprisingly good!!
These look so yummy!
My family loves to have biscuits and gravy and we make it every weekend That is what we use biscuits with the most
Sausage gravy (gravy is seasoned with nutmeg and cayenne pepper) so delicious
Biscuits and Gravy!
One of the ways I like biscuits is with fried apples
With Butter.
I love to eat biscuits just about any way, but I love to open them up and put a big scoop of eggs on ONE side of them and a big ladle of sausage gravy on top... and put butter and jelly on the other side.
...ha!ha!
I love my biscuits topped with sausage gravy but for a real treat with butter and honey for a snack.
WOW 2 of my favorite things - snickerdoodles and biscuits!!! I've made snickerdoodle cookies for my boys since they were little - they were their favorite! I grew up eating biscuits and gravy every Sunday made by my paternal grandma who taught my mom to make them the "right" way. Mom took over Sunday breakfast after we lost my grandma and has "attempted" to teach her 5 daughters the secrets. Alas my 4 sons say "Grandma's are better". I've never tried White Lily flour but have heard it's great from some of my Southern friends. I'm going to give it a try!!! Maybe then my boys will say mine are as good as Grandma's!!!
My husband has me make biscuits and gravy for our evening meal fairly often. I'll eat one that way and one with lots of butter and honey. Would love to try White Lily flour. I've heard it's the best.
I love all the suggestions for having the biscuits. MMmmm!!! Biscuits and gravy, yeah!!! Hot biscuits with lots of butter and Amish peanut butter. Sweet and wonderful. And my favorite, sausage, egg and cheese biscuit!!! Love 'em all. Would love to try the White Lily flour!!
The better the biscuit, the fewer the accompaniments; I like butter!
The biscuits look yummy!
I love to eat a hot biscuit with butter & syrup!!

I'll eat biscuits any way you want to give them to me! I have never used White Lily flour and can't wait to try it and see the difference!
I would love to try these biscuits but I can't have the gluten. They look so good. I will be making them for my husband because he loves snickerdoodle cookies. I am sure he would eat them with gravy or jelly and everything in between.
Smothered in Southern Sausage gravy, yum!
I love biscuits with sausage gravy,and also with butter and syrup!
Thank you!
Brandie; I enjoy grape jelly on my biscuits and then covering them with sausage gravy. Sounds crazy, I know...but give it a try! Delish!
Sopping up over easy egg yolks or milk gravy! Can't be beat!
Mouth watering!
Butter and jelly ! Yumm
Hmmm, how to pick a favorite? Everything is better with a biscuit! I love a creamy potpie topped with biscuits or a biscuit drenched in a savory beef stew. A biscuit shortcake topped with luscious berries and whipped cream is also quite nice.Mmmmm...

I was raised on buttermilk biscuits but I will be trying these they sound wonderful! <y favorite way to eat biscuits is open faced with fried chicken and gravy! MMMM good, now I want biscuits dang it all! LOL
For these biscuits, butter and maple syrup!
I love biscuits right out of the oven with butter!
Depends on the biscuit. If it's a plain biscuit I like butter and honey, but jelly would work in a pinch. I also love bacon, eggs and cheese. If it's a sweet biscuit likes this I would just add butter! Everything is better with butter.
Looks good! Fall recipes! Gotta try some!
These look yummers!
With bacon, egg, and cheese.
Going to make these for breakfast in the morning. Know the family will love them.
biscuits with orange blossom honey, oh yeah!
Look so delicious!! some homemade grape jelly or apple butter would be so yummy on these.
Honey!
I have to make these biscuits.
I read a comment from someone mentioning mixing sorghum molasses and butter together. This is they was my grandfather taught me to enjoy the delicious biscuits my grandmother made. While I don't know what brand flour SHE used, White Lily has been MY brand for 50 years.
These look amazing. I'll take biscuits any way you wanna serve them. B&G is a hands-down favorite, though.
Butter & honey for me, please.
i love them with sausage and gravy. if i cant have that, its butter all the way.
Sorghum molasses and butter...mix it up and slather it on your biscuits! Just not the same on toast!
Family favorite: "fried pumpkin"...my aunt's homemade biscuits made exclusively by "feel" and her fried pumpkin, which was made with fresh or canned pumpkin in her cast iron skillet,bacon grease, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, some sugar...made "to taste". Easy to give up bacon and eggs when this was part of the meal.
We love biscuits any way fix them but these would be great with some fried apples over them, I bet they would taste like apple pie. going to try this on Sunday for my family.
I don't have biscuits as often as I'd like. 🙁 We count carbs so we have to choose carefully when to have biscuits.
This recipe looks wonderful! I love snickerdoodle cookies and will try this soon.
Butter and honey !!!!!!!!!
With butter & honey!

These look delish. I like this as a sweet version. I've never tried it, but I heard White Lily is a really good brand to use.

I love them best with sausage gravy, but lots of butter and honey is a close second.

My favorite is a good sausage biscuit with mustard or a yummy jelly/butter biscuit! And I have to tell you, having been born and raised in the South and living here all my life, there is no match for White Lily Flour!! My mother used it and I have always used it as well. I also use their cornmeal mix. YUMMY!
I love my Biscuits with sausage gravy or chocolate gravy!
I love a nice warm Biscuit with plain ole Butter.
don't forget some good ole maple syrup.
Snickerdoodle biscuits sound wonderful. Must look for White Lily flour in my area and give these a try. I like my biscuits buttered and covered with honey.
Thanks for this giveaway.
The flour you use DOES make a difference & these sound yummy
This recipe looks delicious! One of the many many favorite ways to eat biscuits are "stuffed." Add a bit of anything--eggs, ham, sausage, cheese, veggies, pizza sauce...literally anything you like---to a biscuit round and close it to make a "bomb." Bake as usual. Great frozen for a quick after school snack.
Biscuits are good for any meal of the day! The snickerdoodle biscuits would be great slathered in butter for breakfast.
We grew up mixing sorghum molasses and butter, then dipping our biscuits in our individually mixed bit of deliciousness!
I will try this recipe but need to get the flour first. I like biscuits so many ways but with a little butter and blackberry jam is my absolute favorite!
I love biscuits anyway I can have them. I guess my most favorite is sausage, egg on a biscuit.
I love to take a jalapeno cheese brat and roll small pieces up in biscuit dough and bake them for anytime snacking! Otherwise, it's cinnamon, sugar, and butter baked biscuits with a maple glaze drizzle!
Look so yummy. We would love the eat my house.
