Cinnamon Chums
Cinnamon Chums are sweet, gooey treats with cinnamon and brown sugar, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack, appealing to those who love warm, comforting flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine, syrup, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Pour the melted mixture into a cake pan.
- Place the biscuits on top of the mixture in the pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon directly into the melted margarine and syrup mixture. If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the margarine with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of regular syrup. For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the biscuit layer before baking. Don't forget to check the biscuits for doneness, as oven temperatures can vary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm for the best experience, as the gooey syrup and biscuit combination is delightful fresh out of the oven. These Cinnamon Chums pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for dessert. For breakfast, consider serving alongside a refreshing Cucumber Souffle Salad for a nice balance of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Cinnamon Chums can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 20-30 seconds, but be cautious as this may make them a bit chewy rather than crispy.
