Which way does the cut side of the biscuit face, toward the center biscuit or the edge of the cake pan? It sounds so good and easy. As soon as I receive my answer, I'm gonna make it. I can't wait!!! I Love Your Recipes, how do you do it?

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.
