Knead 5--10 minutes.  Put in a bowl and let it rise 1--1 1/2 hrs.  Punch down, let it rest for 5 minutes. Roll into a 15 by 20 inch rectangle.  

Prepare the filling.  Spread 1/4 Cup melted butter on the dough.  Mix together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on.  Roll up the dough and then cut the rolls with floss. 

Coat the bottom of the pan with the other 1/4 Cup of melted butter and the 1/8 Cup sugar. Let the rolls rise until double.  

Cook at 350 F for 25--30 minutes.  Cool slightly and put the glaze on top.

Add batter to a preheated waffle iron. Makes ~12 waffles.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
2 t baking powder 

1/4 t baking soda
1 T sugar
1 t salt
1 t cream of tartar (if not, use an additional teaspoon of baking powder)
2/3 cup olive oil
1 cup milk (make it buttermilk, ideally)


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sift the dry ingredients together in one bowl. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl. Add wet to dry all at once; stir until moist. 

Knead for 8 strokes (do not over-knead!). Roll out on a floured surface with rolling pin (keep them fairly thick ~1/2 inch). Cut with a small cup or round cookie cutter. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Done when golden brown.

For a more uniform shape, you may choose to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter.
Remember that biscuits are best if you handle the dough as little as possible.
