Sticky Buns

These are SUPER easy and amazing! These were a lazy saturday morning Pinterest find.

 

2 cans refrigerated biscuits

3 Tbsp. melted butter

1/2 c. pancake syrup

1/3 c. packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 c. chopped pecans

 

Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside.  in another bowl combine sugar, nuts and cinnamon.  Spoon half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan, then sprinkle half the nut mixture on top of that.  Next add the biscuits, I generally have 3 or 4 biscuits left over - instead of squishing them in I just cut them in fourths and put them in a small bread pan and layer it like the fluted pan.  You want the biscuits to overlap and form a ring.  Top the biscuits with the remaining nut mixture and syrup mixture.  I like to lift some of the rings up as I'm doing this to get the nuts down in between the biscuits.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  Cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes and then invert onto a serving platter.

 

These are pretty enough for a holiday breakfast - the cherries make me think of

Christmas or any old Saturday will do. 

Garlic Knots

This yummy little recipe was a suggestion from my friend Aubrey.  I added them to our dinner of Ya-Ya Noodles (recipe coming soon) and they were a hit!  Anything that dresses up a meal and starts with store bought rolls works for this busy Momma.  Try them, I'm sure you'll love them.
- 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits ( I used Pillsbury Golden Layers Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits)
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

PREPARATION:

Roll each biscuit into a 12-in. rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; brush the warm knots with the mixture. Yield:10 knots.
