If you are in need of a super easy breakfast for all your house guest this is the recipe you will want. I used Peach Pecan Amaretto Preserves, but you could easily use any preserves you have on hand to change the flavor.

Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Pat into a ½-inch thick round and cut into 12 wedges. (I would chill it once it’s mixed, otherwise the dough is really soft and a little tricky to work with.) I also had a brain issue and forgot how to divide evenly lol!!

  1. No black Friday for me. I prefer to stay at home and ride the horses or work in the yard. That will depend on the weather, but if I can't do any of those things, I have sewing and inside stuff that needs doing.
