Thunder Bay Grille Biscuits

These biscuits are sweet and super-easy to make. The recipe comes from Thunder Bay Grille restaurants, but if you can't make it to Iowa/Illinois you can enjoy them in your own home! I'm also including a recipe for cinnamon butter, but they're fabulous with any biscuit spread you enjoy. *Note: I'm actually halving the original recipe so use both measurements of sugar ... 1/2 cup plus 1/8 cup.
