Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan lightly and set it aside.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together to ensure they are well mixed.
3
Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Slowly incorporate the buttermilk, mixing gently until just blended into a soft dough.
4
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for a minute or two until it's smooth and elastic. Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 15 x 8 inches in size.
5
Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
6
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and (if using) ground cardamom. Mix well, then sprinkle this mixture over the buttered dough.
7
Starting from one of the long sides, roll the dough up tightly into a log, pinching the seam to seal it. Cut the roll into 1 1/2-inch slices.
8
Arrange the slices in the prepared baking pan, cut-side up, ensuring they are snugly placed together.
9
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they're lightly browned on top.
10
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk to make a simple glaze. Drizzle this glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
