No more store-bought cinnamon rolls after this. These Merry Christmas Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuits are so easy and quick, you’ll be glad you made them for neighbors, family and friends.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unprocessed wheat bran (don’t substitute or leave this out…yum!)
2 tbls sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup milk, or buttermilk
1/2 cup mixed dried fruit bits (not candied)
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 to 3 tsp orange juice (milk or water is ok, but orange juice is extra YUMMY)

Procedure:

Mix together flour, wheat bran, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is now looking like coarse crumbs.
Form a well in the center of flour mixture and add milk and fruit pieces all at once.
With a fork, stir until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surdce. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes. Dough will be almost smooth. Do not over handle as this makes the biscuits tough.
Pat or lightly roll dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake at 450 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes, until golden but not brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Stir together powdered sugar and orange juice to a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm biscuits. MAKE A LOT OF DRIZZLE.
