At Kids Recipes we believe when most people think about climate change, they think about cars, lightbulbs, oil, coal plants, and airplanes. Yes, all of those things are important players in the what causes climate change.  After watching this great TED talk about how food even gets to our plates in cities by Carolynn Steele as food too is another big factor that we need to consider in our efforts to confront the climate crisis.

This is a easy fun kids recipe you and the kids can make on a rainy August morning.  Let each of your children watch you cut the biscuits in quarters.  Let the children 1st grade and up join in the fun and make biscuit quarters.  Let the little ones and teens mix the sugar mixture and everyone can enjoy rolling the biscuits in the mixture.  Mom text or call a girlfriend to come over for coffee and cinnamon swirl coffee cake.

YOU NEED:

3 cans (7.5 oz. each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

3/4 cup granulated sugar
