we have made these for years,,, we cut the biscuits in 4 pieces not 6 and we only but 4 to 6 pieces in each muffin. The covering of sugar brown sugar pour more towards the middle and not the edges this will cut down on the over flow but not totally. So an over liner is a good thought.

I tried these today and they were great! I saw the reviews that said the caramel had cooked over, so I put mine in a popover pan instead...it worked perfectly! To remove them from the pan, I just turned the pan upside down over a cookie sheet...they came out perfectly.

I made the muffins but have a questions... Its said to cook the brown sugar, water and brown sugar for 2 minutes or until the brown sugar disolved. I cooked it several minutes and didn't see to me it disolved completely... I put it on the bisquits as instructed but it while cooking it ran out on my space between the muffins... They were good but thought maybe someone had a solution to my problem...

These were easy and good but I agree with others. I would put fewer pieces in each tin and I would put the muffins in muffin papers. It was hard to get the muffins out of the tins without them pulling apart. The glaze overflowed all over the bottom of the oven, so I would line the bottom with foil or have an oven liner.
