My husband is not a dessert man. We’ve had fights over pieces of cake because he asked me to save one for him and it molded before he got in the mood to eat it. And please don’t remind me of the time I gave up sweets for Lent and then ordered a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for a fundraiser and watched THREE OF THEM GO STALE!!!!! Let’s just say I take my sweets pretty seriously. If I’m gonna walk by and smell a tempting treat for a week and not eat it, somebody better, moldy or not! I can’t bake unless I have somewhere to take the goodies. Otherwise, I’ll end up eating three dozen cookies in less than three days. Ryan might eat a couple. So tonight, I was totally shocked when he said, “You know what would be good? Those pizza things you made for supper only with jelly in them.” I agreed and then he added, “But you probably don’t want to make them now.” It was 10:00 at night. The can of biscuits was already in my hand. I squished the dough and rolled a blob of jelly in each one, popped them in the oven, then came back to the couch to wait. A few minutes later, Ryan added, “They oughtta have some kinda frosting on them.” Now if he’d finagled me into making nachos at bedtime and then waited until I sat down to request sour cream, he’d have probably gotten the extra ingredient up the nose. But… since his request involved sugar, I was up like a rocket, whipping up some almond icing. We both finished our entire helping. I licked both of our plates when he wasn’t looking. The problem is, he’ll be satisfied with that sugar fix for a month or longer. I just learned a new recipe with ingredients that are usually on hand. I’m doomed!
Jelly rolls
Canned biscuits
Jelly (I used the cherry almond zucchini jam I made last week - sounds nasty, I know, but we are all addicted!)
- Divide each biscuit in half and squish into a flat circle
- Drop a spoonful of jelly on each one
- Fold dough up around jelly to make a ball
- Place ball seam side down on a cooking sheet
- Bake according to biscuit package directions
Almond glaze
2 T Melted butter
1/3 c powdered sugar
Glub milk
1 t almond extract (you could use vanilla, but I'm pretty much obsessed with almond lately!)
- Stir together and adjust amounts until you’re happy with the consistency and flavor
- Drizzle over jelly rolls. (Actually, soak them. Drizzle sounds so dainty!)
“Those Pizza Things you Made For Supper”
This recipe actually comes to me via my sister via her blog via Pinterest via someone else’s blog via whoever they probably knocked it off from originally. Teachers and bloggers are the best thieves! I made mine a little differently, but they were still good enough to inspire a dessert idea from the hubs, so I'd say they were a success!
Canned biscuits
Cheese
Pizza
Vegetable oil
Seasonings (oregano, basil, garlic powder, etc.)
Parmesan cheese
Pizza sauce
- Half each biscuit and squish flat
- Put a pepperoni or two and a chunk of cheese on the biscuits
- Fold up into a ball and place seam down on a baking sheet.
- Brush with seasoned vegetable oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese
- Bake according to biscuit package directions.
- Dip in pizza sauce
