Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can biscuits (16.3 ounces), buttermilk or flaky style
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ stick butter, melted (2 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Biscuit Pieces: Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuit balls in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Note that the biscuits will spread and lose their round shape during baking, which is expected.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar: While the biscuits bake, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside for coating later.
- Cool Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for about five minutes. Optionally, break flaky biscuits in half to increase surface area for coating.
- Coat Biscuits: Place the cooled biscuits in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter over them and stir gently to coat all the pieces evenly. Then add the cinnamon sugar and stir again until the biscuits are fully coated.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites immediately for the best texture and flavor. If there are leftovers, store them covered at room temperature and consume within one day for freshness.
Notes
- Use flaky style biscuits for easier breaking and a more tender texture.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar to ⅓ cup.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- These bites are best eaten fresh but can be warmed slightly in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Line the baking sheet well to ensure easy removal of the biscuit bites after baking.
