2Tbwhite sugar
1Tbcornstarch
2tspbaking powder
1tspsalt
6Tbcold butter
1/2cupwhole milk
Biscuit coating
1/4cupwhite sugar
1Tbcinnamon
Caramel sauce
1/4cupbutter
2/3cupbrown sugar
2tspwater
1tspvanilla
1/2tspsalt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly butter the inside of an 11x7 or 8x8 pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry dough ingredients: flour, 2 Tb white sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Use a grater to shred the cold butter into the flour mixture. OR place some of the mixture and large chunks of butter into a food processor, chop the butter into very small pieces, and add back to the flour mixture.
Add milk slowly while stirring, until the dough sticks together into a large ball. You might need a tablespoon more or less of milk, and it might be easiest to mix with your hands.
Mix biscuit coating (1/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon) in a small bowl. Make 1/2- to 1-inch balls of dough (a cookie scoop is great for this), drop into coating. Shake/stir to cover dough balls.
Place the balls in the buttered pan. Sprinkle any remaining coating mixture over top.
In a small saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla and salt. Mix well.
Pour sauce over dough.
Bake 15-20 minutes, then let cool 5-10 minutes before eating.
Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9x13 inch pan for 20-30 minutes.
