    Also, I forgot to mention this, but if you use self-rising flour instead of regular flour, you eliminate the need for baking powder and salt. - 11/18/08

    Before I make this, (and it really sounds delicious!), you list flour, (I assume all purpose) and baking powder, but not salt. How much, if any, salt is added? I would like to make this this morning, but I need to know the amount of salt to use. Can't wait to taste these! - 10/12/08

    Sorry about that! I am getting used to this whole recipe thing, but I know I added it into the ingredients - its 1/4 tsp. I actually just use a pinch or so myself and it works just fine.

    I may try this. What about whole wheat flour instead and sugar twin.organic sugar or brownulated or something like that. - 11/1/08

    you can use splenda sugar instead of regular sugar, egg beaters instead of eggs (maybe the egg whites only and use one extra to have enough for consistency), and fat free milk. would lower calories and fat.. - 10/23/08

    Its a great recipe and really doesn't take that long, but if your in a real hurry, try store bought biscuits and roll them in the cinnamon sugar before baking. I will take at least 10 minutes off your prep time and you can get ready for church while they're in the oven. - 10/12/08
