Cinnamon biscuits are a favorite treat in our family. We love biscuits! It seems no matter what you do with a biscuit, we like it. Southerners are like that! I make these sour cream biscuits as a breakfast treat but they are good warmed over anytime. Just add a tall glass of milk or a cup of hot coffee and grownups as well as children love this recipe.

Cinnamon biscuits Ingredients Needed:
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Sugar
Ground cinnamon
Ground nutmeg
Butter
Sour cream
Vanilla flavoring
Raisins (optional)
Buttermilk
Topping for Biscuits
Powdered sugar
Milk
You can also use milk in this biscuit recipe in place of buttermilk which I have done many times. However I believe buttermilk always makes biscuits better.
If you are not a fan of raisins simply leave them out. The texture of these biscuits is wonderful and the topping is so good.
I use a 15 ounce vegetable can to cut these out because it makes large biscuits. You can use whatever size you cutter you want.

“I made these with three changes because I can’t have dairy. I used dairy free sour cream, plant butter and almond milk…they turned out great! A definite keeper.” -Latina
“These are SO good! I was a little wary of using that much cinnamon but boy was I wrong — these are delicious! And also very nice toasted and buttered!” -Jessica
