Butter swim fruit biscuits

2 Martha White muffin mix, your choice.  I used blueberry cheesecake.

1 1/2 cups buttermilk 

Stick of butter

Heat oven to 450 degrees.  Melt butter in pan you plan to cook in, in the oven as it warms up.  I sprayed with PAM before I started.   Mix muffin mix and butter milk.  When butter is melted, add the muffin batter and spread with spatula.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Let cool 15 minutes. Mix confectioners sugar, a little milk and a little vanilla flavoring until it is the consistency to drizzle.   Drizzle over the baked biscuits.

Short cut Cinnamon Rolls

 Pack of Hawaiian rolls sliced in half horizontally

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 stick butter

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Cream together and spread 3/4 on the bottom half of rolls.  Put the top half on and spread the rest on top.  Bake 20 minutes in 350 degree oven.

Meanwhile take 3 oz of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt.  Cream together.   When rolls come out of oven let them cool 5 minutes then spread icing on top.  Eat them while they are warm.

I precook them in a 450 degree oven then blot them with a paper towel.
