# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup finely crushed pretzels.
03 - Add cold cubed butter and cut in using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture forms coarse, even crumbs.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk sweet tea, whole milk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
05 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until the dough is just combined; avoid overmixing. The dough should remain sticky.
06 - With a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop twelve mounds of dough onto the lined baking sheet, ensuring ample spacing.
07 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
08 - Brush the biscuits with melted butter while warm. Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over biscuits, and top with extra crushed pretzels.
09 - Allow biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
