CINNAMON BISCUITS

Serves 12

2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups cake flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 cup chilled plain yogurt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Blend 2/3 cup sugar, flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking soda in large bowl. Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces. Add and rub in with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Beat eggs in medium bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon beaten eggs to small bowl; reserve for glaze. Whisk yogurt into remaining eggs in medium bowl. Stir yogurt mixture into dry ingredients. Gather
dough into ball. Gently knead dough on lightly floured surface until dough just holds together.
Roll or pat dough into 1-inch-thick round.
Using 2 1/2-3 inch diameter cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather dough scraps, reroll to 1-inch thickness and cut out additional biscuits.
Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet. Brush biscuits with reserved egg glaze.
Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
Bake biscuits until puffed and light golden, about 18 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
Variation: For Valentine's or a bridal shower use a heart shape cookie cutter.
