Cinnamon Sticky Biscuits

Stickiness:

 1//4 cup butter

 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

 1/4 cup golden or maple syrup or honey

 2 Tbsp water

Biscuits:

 2 cups all-purpose flour

 1 Tbsp baking powder

 1/2 tsp salt

 3/4 cup milk (any kind)

 1/4 cup canola or other vegetable oil

Filling:

 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

 2-3 Tbsp Roger's Golden or maple syrup or honey (a drizzle - no need to measure)

 cinnamon, to taste

1

Preheat oven to 375F.

2

Put the butter, brown sugar, syrup and water into a parchment-lined or buttered 8x8 or 9x9-inch pan. Put the pan in the oven as it preheats - for about 5 minutes, or just long enough to melt the butter. Pull out the pan and stir the butter, brown sugar and syrup together with a fork. (Alternatively, melt these ingredients in the microwave or on the stovetop, stir until smooth and pour over the bottom of your pan.)

3

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and canola oil and stir just until you have a soft dough. On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough into about a 9 x 12-inch rectangle (aim for a bit bigger than a standard sheet of paper - it doesn't have to be perfect).

4

Sprinkle with brown sugar and drizzle with syrup. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Starting from a long side, roll jelly-roll style into a log. Cut into 9 biscuits using dental floss or a serrated knife, and place cut side down in the pan.

5

Bake for 20 minutes, until golden. Slide out on the parchment or invert onto a plate while still warm.
