Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

- Pour the melted butter mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Gently spread your dough on top, ensuring it’s even to the edges.
Baking
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon, and sprinkle it generously over the top of the biscuit dough.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the unbaked dough into 9 equal squares.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Let the buttery goodness absorb into the biscuits for a few minutes before indulging.
Notes
Keep your butter melted and slightly cooled before mixing. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense biscuits. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
