Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on this classic recipe, consider using flavored biscuits or adding chopped nuts for texture. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. When mixing the cinnamon sugar, ensure it's well blended for even coating. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
