Cinnamon Donut Drops with Cream Cheese Icing

This recipe is actually supposed to be for homemade biscuits, but I have adapted it to be donut holes. You can make this same recipe using canned biscuits if you have them. :)

For homemade biscuits:
2 cups flour (sifted)
5 tablespoons butter
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk

Cinnamon
Sugar
Cream Cheese

For homemade biscuits:
Sift flour into a large bowl. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture is like coarse sand and pebbles.
Add in milk slowly until the mixture becomes a soft dough and mixed well.
Flour a cutting board or counter and knead the dough for about 1 minute.
Roll the dough out flat about 1/2 inch thick. If you are making regular biscuits, use a biscuit cutter or a circle cookie cutter to make biscuits. For the donut holes, I rolled the dough out flat about 1/4 inch thick, and then used a pizza cutter to slice it into strips, and then into strips again the opposite way, making 1inch by 1 inch squares. Take each square, roll it into a ball.

For canned biscuits:
Remove biscuits from can and quarter each biscuit into 4 pieces. Roll the pieces into balls.

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar about half and half.
Roll each ball in the mixture until coated and place on a cookie sheet (coated with cooking spray)
Bake at 400 for about 12 minutes.
Drizzle with cream cheese icing recipe below, or dip them.

1/2 block cream cheese- softened (20 secs in microwave)
1/4 cup sugar
teaspoon cinnamon
