# Components:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
07 - 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
08 - 1/2 cup cream soda, at room temperature
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream
10 - 1 large egg
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Optional Topping
12 - 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
13 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully blended.
03 - Add cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
04 - In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together cooled brewed coffee, cream soda, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
05 - Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; the dough should be slightly sticky. Avoid overmixing.
06 - Transfer dough onto a well-floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 12 equal wedges or rounds using a floured biscuit cutter or knife.
07 - Place cut pieces onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Mix coarse sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the tops.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes prior to serving.
