These are wonderful!! DD and I stirred these up last night and baked them this morning. We follow the instructions exactly and although the dough was sticky when we put it in the refrigerator, it was perfect for rolling when we took it out to work with it. They baked up very light and fluffy and have just the right sweetness too - perfect for a breakfast treat of with afternoon coffee. We'll make these again and again. Thanks pines506!
