Ingredients:

Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more as needed)

• 2 tablespoons white sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• ⅔ cup whole milk
  
  

Filling:

• ¼ cup white sugar

• ¼ cup light brown sugar

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  
  

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Work softened butter into the flour mixture until butter pieces are about the size of lentils.
