From the Kitchen...

Hey!
   This is Natalie! For my first post on this blog, I am going to share a recipe that is a favorite in my family. It's great for a special breakfast or just as a yummy snack.

                                    Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits                                      

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Baking Time: 15-20 minutes

 Serves: Six

Ingredients:                                                                                                 

-2 cups sifted all-purpose flour                                                                             

-1 tablespoon baking powder

-dash of salt                                                                                                    

-1/4 teaspoon baking soda                                                                              

-1/4 cup vegetable oil

-3/4 cup buttermilk

-8 tablespoons softened butter

-3/4 cup granulated sugar

-1 teaspoon cinnamon

Icing: 

 -confectioners sugar

-milk

-vanilla

1) Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl and mix well.

Stir in vegatable oil.

Add butermilk and stir just until blended. (If you don't have buttermilk, you can combine a small drop of lemon juice to 3/4 cup of milk, and use that as a substitute.)

2) Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.

Roll dough into a 15 x 8-inch recatangle.

3) Preheat the oven to 400* F.

Grease a 9-inch round baking pan lightly.

4) Spread butter over the dough.

Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix well.

Sprinkle over butter.

Roll up rectangle, jelly roll fashion, starting from one long side.

Pinch seam to seal.

5) Cut the roll into 1 1/2-inch slices using a durable piece of string. (I find that quilting thread works best)

Arrange the slices, cut side up, in a prepared baking pan.

Bake until lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven.

Spread icing overtop if desired. Serve hot.
