Cinnamon Bun Biscuits… and a slice of Humble Pie

Hi old friends. My last post was in July. And here we are in July again. Ta da! Can we just fast-forward the in-between and pretend it didn’t happen? No?

Okay, here’s the scoop. I was an intern. In a hospital. Me no likey. I’m a fainter. ‘Nuff said. But it had to be done, and I learned a heckuvalot whilst working my rather distressed hiney off.

And really, all that matters now is that I made it out the other end alive (if slightly worse for the wear and a bit shell-shocked), and got a few pretty letters tacked onto my name in the process. Not to mention I have a very clear picture of what I don’t want to do with my life (which I think is a very important first step in making career decisions). Hoorah!

Now lets pick up where we left off, which was, I believe, celebrating life and summer and delicious food!

I thought a humble pie would be a very symbolic, tail-between-legs way for me to reappear on the blogosphere. Then I found out what humble pie was. Blech. You’ll be very happy I am making you Cinnamon Bun Biscuits instead, and I think you will be much more likely to forgive my absence having spared you the deer innards.

These delightful breakfast treats are based on an old family recipe. I think they are fairly common in the Maritimes, where I grew up. They are flakey and buttery and delicious. A simple glaze or cream cheese frosting take them to another world, but they are also perfect as is, unrolled like a scroll and dunked in coffee. The best part? They are quick and easy enough to be made on a Tuesday morning. And what a perfect way to bridge the time gap – they use the same biscuit recipe as those strawberry shortcakes, right where we left off.
