Our glazed biscuits come to us from our Found Recipes cookbook and just beg to be made on a fall or winter day. The autumnal flavor of these sweet treats might just satisfy your craving for pumpkin spice, with a totally different blend of fall flavors. Maple extract give these biscuits great flavor where pecans add flavor and a crunch.
Do scratch biscuit recipes seem intimidating? They are actually one of the easiest quick breads to throw together! Especially when they are like this recipe, with the dough being dropped from a spoon onto the cookie sheet--you don’t even need to roll out the dough and cut it into biscuit rounds to make them. With just 10 minutes of prep time you’re ready to pop these breakfast breads into the oven. And in 15 short minutes, you’ve got the aroma of maple and pecan wafting throughout your kitchen.
Glazed with a maple-scented powdered sugar glaze, you get a double hit of delicious maple flavor that warms you from the inside, out. Try them for a quick weekend breakfast treat or make them as part of a brunch buffet, served with your favorite egg casserole, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice.
