Snickerdoodle Skillet Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease skillet with 1 tablespoon butter and set aside.
2. 2
   To a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, milk, sugar, cream of tartar, egg, and chilled, small cubes of butter. With a pastry cutter or a large sturdy fork, cut butter into the ingredients. Continue to mix ingredients together with the fork until dough forms.
3. 3
   Sprinkle a light coating of flour onto a large cutting board and transfer the dough. Knead a few times until texture is sturdy enough to roll. Add a light coating of flour to a rolling pin and roll out the dough until about 1-1/4 inches thick. Using a 3-inch wide biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut dough into 4 large biscuits.
4. 4
   For the topping, in a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar. Coat all sides of a biscuit with the cinnamon and sugar mixture, and lay the biscuit in the skillet. Repeat for the remaining biscuits so that each biscuit is leaning against one another.
5. 5
   Bake in preheated oven until biscuits turn a light golden color, about 16 minutes. Remove biscuits from the oven and serve while hot, topped with butter.
