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 the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Biscuit Bites: Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuit balls in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Note that the bites will spread and lose their perfect round shape during baking, which is normal.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside this cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Cool and Coat Biscuits: Remove the baked biscuit bites from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, break them in half if they are flaky. Transfer the biscuits into a large mixing bowl.
- Butter and Sugar Coating: Pour the melted butter over the warm biscuit bites and stir thoroughly to coat each piece. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the biscuits and stir again until all bites are fully coated.
- Serve and Store: Serve the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites warm for the best taste. Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to one day as they are best enjoyed fresh.
Notes
- Use buttermilk-style biscuits for a flakier texture that breaks easily.
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter.
- These bites are best eaten the same day to enjoy optimal freshness and crispness.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar for extra warmth and flavor.
- If you want a richer coating, try double-dipping the bites in melted butter and cinnamon sugar.
