After we had cinnamon-topped biscuits at a restaurant, I came up with my own version at home. I keep crystallized ginger on hand so I can whip up a batch at a moment's notice!-Rebecca Littlejohn, Vista, Califiornia

These biscuits were a little too dense for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I thought these biscuits were still really good. The buttermilk made them nice and moist.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more buttermilk next time.
