Cinnamon Brown Sugar Biscuits

Have you ever tried homemade brown sugar biscuits? This version is extra tasty, thanks to a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping, and a sprinkling of chopped pecans. Perfect any time of day!

I found this recipe for pecan cinnamon sour cream biscuits on one of my favorite cooking blogs, your homebased mom. Leigh Anne is such a nice lady and has many more wonderful recipes that I can’t wait to try. I followed her biscuit recipe almost exactly.

These are the changes I made: I used fat free sour cream and salted butter (that’s all I had). I also brushed the tops of the biscuits with milk and sprinkled a little cinnamon  sugar on them. It makes the tops really pretty and adds a slightly sweet crunch.

These biscuits are really tasty and were enjoyed by my whole family! Thanks Leigh Anne!

Equipment

• OXO Stainless Steel Pastry Blender and Cutter
• 3pk Biscuit Cutter - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 T baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 5 T cold butter
• ⅓ cup finely chopped pecans preferably toasted
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup milk

Topping:

• 1 Tbsp milk or cream
• 1 ½ Tbsp cinnamon sugar

Instructions

 

• Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Cut in butter with a pastry brush. (Or simply grate the butter in.) Add pecans.
• Stir the sour cream and milk together and add. Mix everything together with a fork till just blended. Don't overmix!
• Knead 3 or 4 times and pat to 1/2" thick on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut biscuits and place on cookie sheets. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar.
• Bake the biscuits at 425° for 12-14 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.

Notes

• For light biscuits, you don't want to overwork the dough, so use a gentle touch.
• I have used fat free sour cream before, and the biscuits don't raise as tall, but they still taste marvelous!
