I liked the biscuit like texture and used turbinado sugar mixed with the cinnamon in the filling. I did have to add a bit more milk when I was making the dough, but all in all turned out nicely Overall great recipe, especially with the smaller yield. These could become a Sunday morning tradition. - 7/17/11

This was a BIG hit in my family-everyone loves them! I will definitely be making this recipe again. I highly recommend this recipe! - 6/21/11
