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°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Biscuit Bites: Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into four pieces and roll each piece into a small ball. Place these balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuit balls in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. They will spread and lose their round shape during baking, which is normal.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cool and Coat: Remove the baked biscuits from the oven and let them cool for five minutes. You may break them in half if desired. Transfer the biscuits to a large bowl.
- Add Butter and Sugar: Pour the melted butter over the warm biscuits. Stir gently to coat all the biscuits with butter. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the biscuits and stir again until they are evenly coated.
- Serve: Serve the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites immediately for the best flavor and texture. Store any leftovers covered at room temperature and consume within one day.
Notes
- Using flaky style biscuits results in more tender, flaky bites that break apart easily.
- For an extra touch, you can drizzle a simple glaze or add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- If you prefer softer bites, reduce baking time by a few minutes but be careful not to underbake.
- Store leftovers covered on the counter and consume them within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- These bites are best served warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven or microwave if needed.
