Perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert, they offer a delightfully flaky and sweet experience that’s easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 1 can biscuits (16.3 ounces), buttermilk or flaky style
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 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 for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Biscuit Bites: Open the biscuit can and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuit bites 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, which is normal.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set this mixture aside for coating the warm biscuit bites.
- Cool and Coat Biscuits: After baking, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for five minutes. Optionally, break them in half for a flakier texture. Place the biscuit bites into a large bowl.
- Butter and Sugar Coating: Pour the melted butter over the biscuit bites and toss gently to coat them evenly. Then add the cinnamon sugar mixture and stir again until all bites are thoroughly coated with the sweet cinnamon flavor.
- Serve Fresh: Serve the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites immediately for best taste. Store any leftovers covered at room temperature and consume within one day to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use flaky style biscuits for a lighter, flakier texture inside the bites.
- Ensure the biscuits cool slightly before coating to avoid melting the sugar mixture excessively.
- These bites taste best when enjoyed fresh on the day they are made.
- You can substitute unsalted butter with salted butter but reduce added salt elsewhere in other recipes that accompany this.
- For a variation, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture for extra warmth and flavor.
