Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Easy 4 Ingredient Cinnamon Biscuit Blossoms Recipe
a General Mills Recipe

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:

check for ingredient coupons here
1 (16.3-oz.) can Pillsbury Grands! Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits ()
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
8 teaspoons any flavor jelly or jam ()

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 375°F. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Make 5 (3/4-inch-deep) cuts evenly around outside edge of each biscuit to resemble flower petals. Place each biscuit flower on ungreased large cookie sheet. (If biscuits are uneven, flatten slightly to make tops even.)
2:  In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Sprinkle sugar mixture over biscuits. With thumb, make deep indentation in center of each biscuit. Fill each with scant teaspoon jelly.
3:  Bake at 375°F. for 11 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Darlene’s Tips:  You could drizzle some glaze between the petals and around the center just for fun! Just mix powdered sugar with a few drops of water at a time until you get the consistency of glaze that you can drizzle.  You can add a drop of food coloring too.  You could also skip the cinnamon and sugar and just cut the biscuits and put some butter in the center when serving!

Sunday Chat

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

chat-sunday

It’s Sunday!

I have not put my daily chat on my blog for over 2 months.  Sometimes things just get to be a bit too time-consuming to make it worth the effort.  Sometimes things just become a drag. lol  But I think I’ll be bringing my chat back under these new rules.  1.  It won’t necessarily be daily, but only when I feel like it.  2.  I’ll keep it short or at least attempt to keep it short.

Last night I recorded a fairly long ASMR video with paper sounds (check out my Sounds and Whispers ASRM channel).  I did some of the editing last night and will finish up and get that published today. While recording, it dawned on me that I feel like I’m creating music. And I am. I’m creating music for the ears of those who love ASMR in the same way I do.  I not only love it, I’ve come to rely on it to relax me and put me to sleep.  It’s by far my best sleep aid.  And I love rough and harsh sounds. That’s what the paper video will be, mostly. Some soft, but mostly harsh.  What a joy it is to get to edit those videos.

I also uploaded a new Concoction Video, Praline Cookie Cookie Bark.  My mother absolutely loves it!  I also started a new crochet project, this time a crocheted tote bag.  I have about half of it done.  I’m recording as I go but I will only upload when I’m done.  I want it to be completed in one video.  If you want to see my Crocheted Beanie video, go here!

I am staying put today.  I will finish editing my ASMR and will also work some more on the crocheted bag. It’s possible that I might finish that today.  Then I will try to record something else too.

I have not updated the stats below for 2 months!  I’m not sure I will keep updating these stats, or maybe I’ll update just once per week. I’m updating them now so you can see how much things have changed for me in the past 2 months. Lots of growth!  I love growth!

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Easy Birthday Bread Recipe (Makes 2 Loaves)
a General Mills Recipe

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:

check for ingredient coupons here
1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist yellow cake mix (or store brand)
1 box (3.4 oz) Jell-O vanilla-flavor instant pudding & pie filling mix (or store brand)
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/3 cup Betty Crocker rainbow mix sprinkles (or store brand)
1/2 cup Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (or store brand, or make your own)

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour bottoms only of two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
2:  In large bowl, beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sprinkles. Divide batter evenly between pans.
3:  Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; run metal spatula around edge of loaves to loosen. Remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
4:  Spread frosting on tops of loaves; sprinkle with remaining sprinkles. When ready to serve, cut into slices.

Darlene’s Tips:  You could do this with any flavor cake mix and you certainly do not have to add the sprinkles. You could add chopped nuts instead or anything you want. A spice cake with chopped nuts would be delish and top with cream cheese frosting!
