This coffee cake is worthy of a place on a restaurant menu! It is not only delicious, but it is so attractive when the biscuits are arranged in the pan. It is so easy to make and takes little time. Impressive to guests, too. This one is a "keeper".

Simple and delicious! I used lemons and pecans instead of oranges and walnuts, and it was excellent, too.

VERY good, and very easy to make! I finely chopped the walnuts the night before, and threw the recipe together the next morning with very little work. The second time I made them I used butter flavor cooking spray (from a previous tip) and was even faster.

This is fabulous!!! I have made it several times the way it is, and then made it into balls like monkey bread. Great both ways!

Big Hit! I substituted pecans for the walnuts, used spray butter and low fat cream cheese instead. It was still GREAT!

This recipe is so easy, and turns out perfect every time. The only thing I change is to use pecans instead of walnuts (just my personal preference). I have had numerous people ask me for this recipe. It's definitely a keeper.

Very easy to make. I used biscuits with butter already in them so I didn't have to put the melted butter on. The whole family loved them, even the kids.
