Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits at oldfatguy.ca

I wanted a treat for breakfast. I also wanted another sourdough recipe. So, I modified Linda’s Sourdough Biscuit recipe to make Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits.

I preheated the oven to 425 F.

I mixed the sugars, flour and cinnamon. I cut in the butter with a pastry blender.

I peeled and chopped the apples.

Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits 1

I mixed the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. I cut in the butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.

I added the sourdough starter and stirred to make a shaggy dough. I turned the dough onto a floured surface and kneaded it 5 times to form a ball.

Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits 2

Roll the dough into a 12 by 9 inch rectangle.

I spread the sugar mixture over the rectangle leaving one inch from a long edge uncovered. Then spread the apple and nuts.

Roll the rectangle from the long edge towards the uncovered edge. Press the dough into a tight cylinder and flatten the ends.

Slice the cylinder into one inch slices and put on baking sheets sprayed with baking spray.

Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits 4

Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits 5

Remove from the baking sheet while still warm.

The Verdict

These are delicious. There is a nice crisp exterior with a flaky soft biscuit interior. You could ice them but the filling gives just the right sweetness in my opinion. The apple/sugar filling is delicious. She Who Must Be Obeyed has informed me I will make these again. She must be obeyed.

  1. These are REALLY good. After rolling out the dough, would it work to let it rest for an hour so the sourdough starter could do it’s magic?

    1. It would be worth trying but it would come out more bread-like than biscuit texture. If you do try it, I would love to hear how it turns out.

  2. Thank you Tall Handsome Man! ?
