Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube of refrigerated biscuits (standard size, not Grands)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Icing
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating Mixtures: In a shallow glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave on reduced power to prevent splattering. In a separate shallow bowl, thoroughly combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
- Cut the Biscuits: Using kitchen shears, cut each refrigerated biscuit into thirds. Place the pieces on a plate, making sure to separate them so they don’t stick together as you work through the coating process.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray an 8×8 baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray, coating both the bottom and sides. Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s ready when you finish assembling.
- Coat the Biscuit Pieces: Using an assembly line approach, take each biscuit piece and dip it first in the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely covered. Place each coated piece in the prepared baking dish, arranging them evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit bites turn a deep golden brown on top. The bites will puff up and the cinnamon sugar will create a delicious caramelized coating.
- Prepare the Icing: While the biscuit bites are cooling slightly, mix the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. If the icing seems too thick, add a few drops of milk; if too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the prepared icing over the slightly cooled biscuit bites. Serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, consider adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- These bites can be reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if they cool down too much.
- Try using flavored biscuits like buttermilk or flaky layers for a variation.
- The recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings using a 9×13 baking dish.
