Diabetic Dish of the Week - Spiced Fan Biscuits

I have Spiced Fan Biscuits as the Diabetic Dish of the Week this week.



Spiced Fan Biscuits


Ingredients:
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Shortening
3/4 cup Fat-Free Milk
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Directions:
1 - Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease 12 - 2-1/2-inch muffin cups; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; add milk. Stir just until dough clings together.
2 - Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Divide dough in half. Roll one half into a 12x10-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the rectangle.
3 - Cut rectangle into five 12x2-inch strips. Stack the strips on top of each other; cut into six 2-inch-square stacks. Place each stack, cut side down, in a prepared muffin cup. Repeat with remaining dough and sugar mixture.
4 - Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
