This recipe is great as biscuits. I've served them with soup and also with sausage gravy. They make great pigs in a blanket. (Just wrap one biscuit of dough around a half of a wiener. Bake as usual.)This recipe can also be used for caramel nut pull-aparts. 1/4 cup melted margarine. 1/3 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup chopped nuts- optional. drop wads of dough onto ingredients in a 9 round pan. Bake as usual. Invert on a plate to serve.
