Biscuit Treasures
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Butter
Cinnamon
Sugar
Jam or jelly (optional)


Remove biscuits from cardboard tube.
Separate and flatten each biscuit individually on a cutting board, using your hand, a rolling pin, or the side of a straight drinking glass.
In the center of each biscuit put a small dollop (about a measuring teaspoon) of butter.
On top of that, put a teaspoon of sugar, followed by a sprinkling of cinnamon.
If you prefer, you can use a teaspoon of jam or jelly instead of the sugar and cinnamon.
Tightly pinch together the edges of the biscuits so that the filling won’t leak out.

Place the biscuit pouches on a cookie sheet and bake according to the directions on the biscuit can.
Serves 4 to 6.
