Ranch House Biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine all dry ingredients and blend well. Cut in butter. Add eggs and milk to the dry mixture, then blend until combined. If the mixture it too wet, add a little more flour. Spread dough out with flour-covered hands on a lightly floured area about 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Spread a thin layer of Filling over the biscuit dough and the remaining into a baking dish. Roll the biscuit dough up as a jellyroll. Slice into 1-inch pieces and place the pieces into the wet baking dish (stick the biscuit pieces together like a puzzle). Bake uncovered. When done, turn out immediately by placing a plate over the baking pan, turning the whole thing upside down, away from your body. Lift the baking dish off the biscuits and let it set up for a few minutes. Serve warm.

4 tablespoons corn syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar

Variations
