Answers:
If you can get cinamon, maybe raisins and some vanilla you could make your biscuits sort of crumbly add some brown sugar and make a crumble cake, it won't be very cake like but more biscuit like, breakfast pie.
Or you could get some eggs, (six won't cost too much), brown sugar, or get molassas, cinamon and/or nutmeg and make your biscuits with egg, let them dry for a while, and mix some egg and milk with the brown sugar cinamon and cook like a custard and you will have a fun bread pudding. Or get some apples and cinamon, a little orange juice for an added flavor and make a pie. You may be able to get enough apples for a good sized pie for around three dollars, you may need to borrow for the cinamon, unless you know of a good inexpensive grocery. Sometimes the dollar store has cinamon for a dollar. I like to add sorghum, bu t you don't need too. For the filling I add a little orange juice, flour, sugar and sliced apples. Liberally sprinkle with cinamon and put into your crust. Cover with a second crust or make a crumble. To make crust you need almost 2 cups flour to a half cup lard, and cold water.(and salt). Cut the lard into the flour until its pea sized and put one quarter cup ice water into mixture and quickly mix with a fork. Roll it out on a piece of wax paper until its as large and thin as you want it to be and then flip the wax paper over into your pie pan. Put your apple mixture in there, lots of cinamon, and cover with a second crust. I usually put lots of butter in with the apples but you don't need to. Just be sure to put salt in the crust and a little in the pie. Put slices in the top crust so you have vents, that is where some cooks put smiley faces or whatever hits your fancy.(Don't need the baking powder for any of these.) Cook at 375 F for at least 45 minutes, its not done until all the apples are surrounded by bubbles. Good luck, hope you get lots of ideas
