01 - 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
07 - 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

09 - 2 tablespoons honey

→ For the Honey Butter Glaze

10 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
11 - 2 tablespoons honey
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar.
03 - Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
04 - In a small bowl, combine the milk and honey until well blended. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
05 - Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) thickness.
06 - Utilize a 2.5-inch (6 cm) round cutter to shape the biscuits, re-rolling any scraps as necessary. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, placing them close together for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
07 - Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
08 - While the biscuits are baking, create the glaze by combining the melted butter, honey, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
09 - Immediately upon removing the biscuits from the oven, brush them with the prepared honey butter glaze.
10 - Serve the biscuits warm.
