Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt margarine in the microwave.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, and allspice in a bowl.
- Dip raw biscuits in melted margarine, then into the sugar mixture.
- Lay the coated biscuits in a pan or cookie sheet with the topping side up.
- Add half a maraschino cherry to the middle of each biscuit.

Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts or raisins to the sugar mixture. You can also substitute the margarine with melted coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you have cinnamon rolls on hand, you can use those instead of biscuits for a more traditional texture. Make sure to check the biscuits frequently while baking to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon buns are perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Serve them warm, topped with a drizzle of icing or cream cheese frosting for an extra indulgence. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. For a complete breakfast, serve alongside fresh fruit or yogurt.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place the buns in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in an oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, until warmed through. This will help retain their soft texture.
