2

cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

2

tablespoons granulated sugar

3

teaspoons baking powder

1/2

teaspoon salt

1/3

cup firm butter or margarine

3/4

cup milk

3

tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

3

tablespoons granulated sugar

1

teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2

cup powdered sugar

1/4

teaspoon vanilla

2

to 3 teaspoons milk

• 1 Heat oven to 425ºF. Grease 8 regular-size muffin cups. In large bowl, mix flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the baking powder and salt. Cut in firm butter using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture particles resemble fine crumbs. Stir in just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
• 2 Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll into 12x10-inch rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons butter over rectangle. Mix 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over rectangle. Cut rectangle crosswise into 6 (10x2-inch) strips. Stack strips; cut crosswise into 8 pieces. Place cut sides up in muffin cups.
• 3 Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from muffin cups to cooling rack.
• 4 In medium bowl, mix all glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm biscuits. Serve warm.
