Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 large egg

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stir together flour, remaining tablespoon sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut butter into small pieces and with your fingertips or a pastry blender blend into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.
In another small bowl whisk together egg and milk and add to flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
Transfer mixture to a lightly floured surface and gently knead, 3 or 4 times, until it forms a dough.
Pat dough into a 10- by 6-inch rectangle (about an inch thick).
Brush dough with melted and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar.
Beginning with a short side, roll up rectangle to form a 6-inch log and cut crosswise into 4 pieces.

I liked the biscuit like texture and used turbinado sugar mixed with the cinnamon in the filling. I did have to add a bit more milk when I was making the dough, but all in all turned out nicely Overall great recipe, especially with the smaller yield. These could become a Sunday morning tradition. - 7/17/11
