Cinnamon Biscuits

These Cinnamon Biscuits are the essence of homemade comfort. Incredibly simple and quick to prepare, their warm, spicy aroma fills the kitchen, making them the perfect companion for a cup of tea or coffee. They are a timeless treat, proving that you don’t need complicated ingredients to create something truly delicious and satisfying.

The magic of these biscuits lies in their straightforward approach. The use of brown sugar provides a lovely caramel depth of flavour that white sugar alone wouldn’t achieve, while a touch of honey adds a subtle floral sweetness and contributes to a wonderfully crisp texture. This is a very forgiving dough to work with, making it a great recipe for baking with children or for when you need a sweet fix without much fuss.

While the recipe calls for a simple sprinkle of cinnamon before baking, you could also roll the dough balls in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra crunchy, sweet coating. Feel free to shape them however you like – roll the dough out and use cookie cutters for neat shapes, or simply form them into rounds and flatten with a fork for a more rustic look. They are perfect for dunking!

Ingredients

  • 125g butter, melted
  • 1 whole egg
  • 80g brown sugar
  • 300g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour and brown sugar). In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (melted butter, egg, and honey).
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough ball forms. Shape the dough as desired (e.g., roll into small balls and flatten, or roll out and use cutters), and sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
  3. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
