Prep: 15 mins

Cook: 15 mins

Total: 30 mins

Serves:

Ingredients

2½ cup flour
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
8 tbsp cold butter, (1 stick)
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp maple syrup, or honey
⅔ cup milk, or heavy cream (or more, if necessary)
½ tsp vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a fork or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine granules.
Add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly into the mixture. Add the milk/cream and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.
Roll the dough out about half an inch thickness.
Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet. Criss-cross, but do not cut all the way, each square from corner-to-corner with a knife.
Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.
