Expert Tips

Whenever you use a lemon (or an orange) for its juice, grate the peel before squeezing it. Keep the peel in a little jar in your freezer ready for recipes like this.

Someone posted about transfats..the biscuits do not have transfats. Those would come from margarine if you opted for margarine over butter. Margarine has 1.5 grams of transfat per tablespoon. My 3 year old, who insisted he did not want to try the coffee cake and only wanted Rice Krispies, loved it.

I used Craisins in place of raisins and was great.

WONDERFUL recipe! I cut my biscuits into 6 pieces and used a pie plate. I didn't have wax paper on hand, so used a mix of crisco/butter to grease the pan. Also used 1/2 sugar, 1/2 brown sugar in the bag with a tsp. of cinnamon. I used walnuts and dispersed them among the biscuits on the pie plate. As suggested, also used part of what was left in the bag re sugars and sprinkled that on the biscuits. This is where it gets tricky. I baked it for about 20 min. and tented it the last 5 min. so sugars wouldn't burn. DELISH!
