# Ingredients:

→ For the Biscuits

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
07 - 3/4 cup whole milk
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

09 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ For the Honey Butter

11 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
12 - 2 tablespoons honey
13 - Pinch of salt

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
03 - Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
04 - Pour in the whole milk and pure vanilla extract. Stir gently until the ingredients are just combined. Exercise caution to avoid overmixing.
05 - In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
06 - Utilizing a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring each portion is spaced approximately 2 inches apart. This quantity should yield about 10 biscuits.
07 - Generously sprinkle the tops of each biscuit with the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture.
08 - Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and they are fully cooked through.
09 - Concurrently, prepare the honey butter. In a small bowl, whip together the softened unsalted butter, honey, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy.
10 - Serve the warm biscuits accompanied by the prepared honey butter.
