I had these for the first time at my sister-in-law's when I was staying with them as a teen. They are now a much loved tradition in my home too. Any time it snows, the kids beg me to make them. I've changed them just a bit by adding the nuts but they are good with or without them. For an Orange Cinnamon variation see Orange Cinnamon Biscuits. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup shortening |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup butter, melted (or very soft) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
chopped pecans (optional) |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 -2 tablespoon milk |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening.
2. Add milk and 1 tsp. vanilla; stir with fork just until dough leaves sides of bowl.
3. Roll dough out, on lightly floured surface, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
4. Brush top with butter (I prefer to use soft butter rather than melted).
5. Combine cinnamon and sugar; sprinkle evenly over dough.
6. Sprinkle with chopped pecans (or other nuts or raisins) if desired.
7. Roll up, starting on long side.
8. Cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
9. Place rounds, with sides just touching, in greased 9 round pan.
10. Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Remove from oven and drizzle with glaze, serve warm.
12. For glaze: Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth.
