Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a fork or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine granules.

Step 3

Add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly into the mixture. Add the milk/cream and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.

Step 4

Roll the dough out about half an inch thickness.

Step 5

Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet. Criss-cross, but do not cut all the way, each square from corner-to-corner with a knife.

Step 6

Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.
