Snickerdoodle Skillet Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Grease skillet with 1 tablespoon butter and set aside.

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.

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.

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.

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.
