I’ve now found my new Go-To Cinnamon Biscuits recipe! I made these for breakfast for some friends and then brought the extras to the neighbors. Everyone raved about them.
My neighbor thought it was an “heirloom” recipe!! So easy to make.
This is basically a kicked up biscuit dough. But you would think they are fancy cinnamon rolls from a high class bakery.
A good variation of this recipe is Cinnamon Orange Biscuits. Delicious!
Definitely a keeper!

Cinnamon Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in the shortening.
- Add the milk and 1 tsp. vanilla; stir with fork just until dough leaves sides of bowl.
- Roll the dough out, on lightly floured surface, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Brush the top with butter (I prefer to use soft butter rather than melted).
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar; sprinkle evenly over dough. Sprinkle with chopped pecans (or other nuts or raisins) if desired.
- Roll up, starting on long side. Cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Place the rounds, with sides just touching, in greased 9" round pan.
- Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the glaze, serve warm.
For the glaze:
- Combine all the ingredients and beat until smooth.
