Delicious, impressive, easy. What else is there to say! These little treats look like they are SO difficult to make, and they taste so yummy! I make them for breakfast, for dessert, or for a snack. O yum. My mother-in-law and I were addicted to them a couple of summers ago...like serioulsy addicted. We always had to have some stashed in the freezer (nuke them in the microwave for 15 seconds and they are perfect!) When I told her I was making them, I thought she was going to hop a plane to Nebraska! Maybe I should tell her I am making them more often...:)
Cinnamon Stack Biscuits
Printable Version
Dough
2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbs. sugar
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
⅔ cup milk
Filling
3/4 stick butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 Heaping Tbs. cinnamon
Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbs. water
Combine all of the dry ingredients, then cut in shortening with a pastry cutter until mixed well and slightly crumbly.
Then, slowly stir in milk.
When dough begins to clump, knead with hands for about 30 seconds, or until dough forms a ball. Flour your surface WELL to prevent sticking, and roll out your dough in a rectangle. Cut off edges to make perfectly straight sides of your rectangle.
Next spread filling evenly to each edge of the rectangle. Cut rectangle from left to right (long-ways) into 5 strips and stack directly on top of one another.
Cut into 12 equal pieces and flip each individual piece into a cupcake tin. Bake for 12-14 minutes at 400.
While they are baking, make icing by mixing powdered sugar and water together. Add additional water, if desired, for a thinner consistency. Drizzle each biscuit with icing while still warm to enable it to melt. Serve and enjoy!

I made these this morning and they were so good! Taylor was worried that I was making a mess on the island, I need to make more messes there! I'm just wondering how big you roll it out to?
Emilee-So glad that you liked them! We are obsessed with these little guys! I roll it out to about a 8x12 rectangle. Sometimes I end up with an extra strip or two so I just stack those strips and make a few extra biscuits. It is kind of hard to roll it out perfect, that is for sure. Hope that helps!
Dear Chelsea: I saw your pancakes recipe on Pinterest, so I came over here. My goodness, you have so many delicious, gorgeous recipes here on this one page alone! Thanks so much for sharing!
