Spiced Fan Biscuits
These lovely fan-shaped biscuits need no adornment, but pass butter so guests can use some if they like.
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
4 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup shortening
-
3/4 cup fat-free milk
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; add milk. Stir just until dough clings together.
2.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Divide dough in half. Roll one half into a 12x10-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the rectangle.
3.
Cut rectangle into five 12x2-inch strips. Stack the strips on top of each other; cut into six 2-inch-square stacks. Place each stack, cut side down, in a prepared muffin cup. Repeat with remaining dough and sugar mixture.
4.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. Makes 12 biscuits.
