Yield: 8 rolls or 4 individual ramekins

1 can of pre-made biscuit dough
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons cinnamon
4 pieces of thick-cut bacon

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat both sides of bacon with brown sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
2. Line bacon on a baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until caramelized and bubbling. Set aside to cool, and chop into small pieces.

4. Coat the top of dough with brown sugar, cinnamon and another pinch of cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the chopped bacon on top.
5. Start rolling dough from one end to the other, starting at the long end of the rectangle. Tuck in bacon and sugar as you go.
