3. In a large plastic food-storage bag, mix the sugar and cinnamon
4. Separate the dough into 16 biscuits and cut into quarters
5. Put them in the bag and shake the bag to coat
6. Arrange in a bunt pan and then add the pecans, if desired
7. Bring the brown sugar and butter to a boil then let cool before pouring over the biscuit pieces
8. Bake 28-32 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in the center
