A SWEET HOMEMADE BISCUIT

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!

Cinnamon Sugar Skillet Biscuits

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 NEEDED FOR SNICKERDOODLE BISCUITS: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

White Lily Flour, butter, milk, egg, cinnamon, sugar

HOW TO MAKE SNICKERDOODLE BISCUITS:

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 1/4″ 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.

  1. We love biscuits and gravy but biscuits in any form are always a treat. Looking forward to making these Snickerdoodle biscuits.

  2. Your biscuits look delicious.
    I like mine with egg, sausage and cheese biscuit sandwich and sometimes with ham and cheese to go with my morning coffee
    Thank you for this giveaway opportunity

  3. 5 stars
    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.

  4. I love biscuits and I can eat them any way! Biscuits and gravy, hot biscuits and Apple butter or syrup, and I even have a cold biscuit with coffee for an afternoon snack. I definitely am trying this recipe- – – Thanks for shating!

  5. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Biscuits are good for any meal of the day! The snickerdoodle biscuits would be great slathered in butter for breakfast.

  9. We grew up mixing sorghum molasses and butter, then dipping our biscuits in our individually mixed bit of deliciousness!

  10. 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!

  11. 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!
