What a great idea! This made a wonderful Sunday morning treat! I did take a little liberty with the recipe, hope you don't mind. First only wanted to bake enough for two, so used only 4 frozen buttermilk biscuits. And instead of icing the rolls, I baked them in custard cups with butter,brown sugar and nuts on the bottom . . . poured a little cream over each roll before baking. It made a wonderful carmel topping. Thanks for sharing Mary.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
