2 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light

4. Quarter each biscuit and roll each in sugar mixture. Place all pieces layered evenly in the pan.

7. Remove from oven and while still hot carefully invert onto a serving plate.
8. Serve warm and let everybody pull off a piece.
