Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits

Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits

12 biscuits

¾ cup soy milk
½ tsp. apple cider vinegar
2 cups pancake/baking mix
¼ cup brown sugar
2 ½ tsp. cinnamon, divided
2 Tbsp. margarine
2 tsp. granulated sugar

Mix soy milk and vinegar together, set aside. Spray muffin pan with oil or cooking spray.

Combine baking mix, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a large bowl, breaking up any large chunks of brown sugar. Add soy milk mixture and stir gently, but thoroughly.

Drop biscuit batter into prepared muffin pan – do not press batter down into pan. Bake at 450°F for 8 – 10 minutes until tops are brown and a knife inserted into biscuits comes out clean.

Meanwhile, melt margarine and set aside. Mix together granulated sugar and remaining cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

When biscuits are done baking, remove from the oven and brush tops with melted margarine. Then liberally sprinkle each biscuit with cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.
