Sticky Buns

These are some variations of Sticky Buns, which are quite popular as a breakfast food. In most restaurants, they are large and can be ordered grilled, which is wonderful!! I'm also adding a recipe for french toast. This is not the french toast you're probably used to. It tastes much like the sticky buns. Warning: you will not need additional syrup with this french toast. I've not yet tried the sticky bun recipes, I do make the french toast, mostly when we have overnight company.

Sticky Buns

Mix together in a 13x9" ungreased pan:

1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 c. maple syrup
1/2 c. nuts, chopped (optional) - usually walnuts
1/4 c. melted margarine

Blend:

1/4 c. powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. softened margarine
8 oz. softened cream cheese
3 cans refrigerated biscuits

Seperate biscuits and flatten: put 1 Tbsp. cream cheese mix on center of biscuit. Overlap dough to form finger shaped rolls. Place rolls seam side down on top of brown sugar mix in cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 3-5 minutes, turn over onto serving plate.
