Cinnamon Stack Biscuits

I made these for General Conference weekend. It looks like the recipe is from a page torn out of a cookbook, maybe an early Betty Crocker?

Cinnamon Stack Biscuits

2 c all-purpose flour, stirred and measured

3 t baking powder

1/2 t cream of tartar

1/2 t salt

3 T sugar

1/2 c shortening

2/3 c milk

1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted

1/4 c sugar

1 T cinnamon

In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir until mixture forms ball. Turn onto lightly foured board;knead gently 4 or 5 times. Roll dough into 16x10-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with mixture of 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Cut lengthwise into five 2-inch strips. Stack  the five strips; cut into 12 pieces. Place cut side down in 12 greased muffin tins. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 12 biscuits.

They were quick and good. Don't expect them to be like real cinnamon rolls or you'll be disappointed.They are kind of like the fake store-bought cinnamon rolls, though, so Janet will probably like them.
