Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, 1 stick cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes and 2 tablespoons melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup well-shaken chilled buttermilk
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Accompaniments: softened butter and jam

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out dough with a floured rolling pin into a 1/2-inch-thick round and cut out as many biscuits as possible with biscuit cutter. Gather scraps and knead once, then pat out into a 1/2-inch-thick round and cut out more biscuits.

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED PINEAPPLE BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Brown Sugar Glazed Pineapple Biscuits Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 12

GLAZE:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (I used Crisco)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh pineapple, drained on paper towels
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
Dash of salt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Melt the shortening and butter together in the microwave. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together both the flours, baking powder, and cinnamon; add the melted mixture, milk, and pineapple, stirring just until combined. At this point, you can just drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet about 1" apart and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned. (OR) as I did.. I sifted a little flour over the top of the dough then used a spoon to pull the floured side against the side of the bowl so I could sift a little flour in the bottom of the bowl. Flour hands and pull off pieces of dough (or use a spoon) about the size of a small lemon, roll it around in your palms a few times, then place them on the baking sheet about 1" apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned. Meanwhile, make the glaze.. Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave until fairly hot. Stir in brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Reheat for a few seconds to dissolve sugar, if needed. Spoon (or brush) the glaze over tops of hot biscuits. Serve warm.
