Giant Gooey Cinnamon Biscuits




This whole marriage/relocating/reorganizing thing has really put a damper on my time in the kitchen.

As some of you know, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and this past weekend was the first time I've actually had the time energy to bake anything since we moved from Texas!

Our new life has definitely been an adjustment: new schedules, new house, new commutes, and new responsibilities. Mountain Man no longer gets out of work early which means I'm in charge of all the cooking now and being closer to friends and family is amazing, but that also means a lot more things to do and places to be.

All that being said, my blog has also taken a hit.

I still plan on sharing all my yummy creations with you all, but there may be a little more lag time in between posts. But please, please, please, don't give up on me..because I still have plenty of sweets to share.


Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuits
recipe from The Kitchn
Makes 4 large biscuits
Oven: 425 Bake time:

2 cups AP flour
1 TBS dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy cream*, divided
1/2 cup cinnamon chips
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 425. Lightly grease 8x8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Pour about 1 1/2 cups of the cream- you're looking for a thick and sticky dough- mixing until just combined.
Lightly flour the countertop and turn dough out, patting into a long, thick rectangle.
Cut rectangle into 8 sqaures.
Transfer half the sqaures into the baking pan and sprinkle with a small handful of cinnamon chips over each square. Cover chips with second square of dough and lightly press sides to seal.
Distribute remaining chips over the sealed biscuits.
Transfer to oven and bake for about 15 mintues or until lightly golden on the outside.
Use a knife or spatula and smear hot cinnamon chips on top of biscuits
Whisk together 1/2 cup of cream, powdered sugar and vanilla- lightly drizzle biscuits with glaze.



And Congrats to Roxan who won the Tate's Bake Shop Giveaway!! I hope you enjoy the cookies as much as we did!
Happy Baking!

Sometimes life changes do take a while to get used to. However, I am sure things will settle in a few months.
Anyhow, these biscuits look like a great thing to grace the table with in the morning-love the topping. Wish I had one right now. Yum!

Much as I love my family, I'd be more bummed about my Hubby having to work later than being closer to them. :)

Of course, these biscuits help with all that. I like the fact that they ARE biscuits instead of a yeast dough because it means I don't have to wait for hours before diving in.

Do life. Share these marvelous goodies when you can. I'll still be here. (But I do miss you.)

These look DELICIOUS! I'm definitely going to give them a shot! Also, are cinnamon chips absolutely necessary or could I sub. cinnamon??

You definitely need the cinnamon chips because that's what creates the layer of "filling" in the center. You should be able to find them at the grocery store among the chocolate chips.

These sound fantastic! You got me with the word gooey lol. Then seeing the cream in these, which is one of my downfalls, had me reaching for my print button!

Take your time, girl. You have had A LOT of changes in the past few months. I'm just glad to reading this! I wish I had one of these now. I just made some blueberry muffins but these sound even better. Thank you for sharing, sweet friend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of food and friends!
