Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

Yes, YES, it really is that close. Why not host a dinner or tea brunch next month for those outside you immediate family? Of course, you may include your family, but invite someone with no where to go. People are lonely. Reach out.

Quick Tea Ring Recipe

1/4 C brown sugar

1 1/2 TBS cream

1/4 C melted butter, nuts and/or dried cherries

2 cans refrigerated biscuits (buttery the better) 12 to 16 biscuits

3 TBS melted butter

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 C sugar (I used brown. I think brown sugar tastes better in these sorts of dishes)

Mix brown sugar, cream, melted butter, nuts and cherries. Place in bottom of tube pan (bundt cake pan) I spread them out to go up the sides of the pan a bit. Now, at this point, you can either leave the biscuits whole, or cut them into quarters. I quartered them. Melt the remaining 3 TBS of butter and combine the cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar in separate bowl. Dip biscuits in the melted butter then the sugar cinnamon mixture and layer them through out the pan on top of the nuts and cherries. Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly and invert onto serving plate. Replace any toppings that fall off. Serves 6-8.
