Baked Cherry "Donuts" (1/3 to 1/2 the calories of regular donuts)
1 ½ cups sugar
1 cup melted butter/blend
2 tbsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cardamom powder (optional)
2 tubes refrigerated biscuits (Flaky buttermilk, any size)
Cherry preserves
Mix sugar and spices, dip each biscuit in the butter, shake off excess, and then roll in sugar mixture; space evenly on a non-stick foil covered baking sheet that has been sprayed with baking spray.
Make an inch crater in the middle of each biscuit and fill crater with 1-2 tsp. of the preserves. Bake at 360*F till golden brown. (15 minutes or more depending on the size of biscuits.)
Serve warm or cooled. Seal tightly for storage to prevent drying out.
**You can use any flavor of preserves, peach, strawberry, raspberry, etc.
Cook’s Note: Use a spatula to separate & loosen biscuits hot out of the oven or they will stick together.
