Cinnamon rolls cooking in the oven are just plain good. The cinnamon and sugar melting together sends out an aroma that turns up the senses a notch and makes the mouth water. But, if you’re like me and short on time cinnamon rolls made with yeast dough are not always an option.

Before attempting our second lab making biscuits from scratch I spent two days demonstrating . One class period I made these Cheese Garlic Drop Biscuits. They were a hit, but the Cuisinart food processor was a bigger hit. Many of them had never seen one used and they were fasinated by it. I love my Cuisinart that I have had for at least 25 years.

Now that’s just my opinion. But, what am I to do? I can’t keep blogging about the same recipe every semester. I have to reach beyond my comfort zone. Here’s what I did this time around.
