Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍚
- 1 tbsp baking powder 🧂
- 1/2 tsp salt 🧂
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed 🧈
- 3/4 cup buttermilk 🥛
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 🍂
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon 🌰
- Optional: 1/2 cup icing for drizzling 🍭
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and vanilla extract, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Mix the packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the rolled-out dough.
