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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut every biscuit into four equal pieces, then roll each piece into a small ball. Arrange these dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the biscuit bites until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Note that the bites will spread and may lose their perfectly round shape during baking, which is normal.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the bites are baking, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl to create your cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.
- Cool and Coat the Biscuits: Remove the biscuit bites from the oven and allow them to cool for five minutes. For flaky biscuits, you can break them in half easily if desired. Transfer the bites into a large bowl.
- Butter and Sugar Coating: Pour the melted butter over the warm biscuit bites and stir well to coat evenly. Then add the cinnamon sugar mixture and stir again until all bites are well coated.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites fresh the same day. If you have leftovers, store them covered at room temperature for up to one day to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use flaky style biscuits for easier breaking and a flakier texture.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
- If you want smaller bites, cut the biscuits into more pieces accordingly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for one day; refrigerating may dry them out.
