• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (plus an additional 1 tsp for optional cinnamon-sugar topping)
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (for optional cinnamon-sugar topping)
• 1 cup skim milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened (plus additional for greasing and optional topping)

directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 425.
2. Combine flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl.
3. Pour milk into mixture, and stir together with a fork.
4. Add softened butter, and knead the butter gently into the dough with your hands until dough is soft (add more flour if it’s too sticky).
5. Place dough on a floured surface, and flatten until it is a 1 1/2-inch disk. Use a glass to cut out rounds, and place them on a greased baking sheet. If you want, you can soften a bit more butter, brush it over the rounds, and sprinkle with a mixture of 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp sugar.
6. Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Serve with anything, especially blueberry jam.
