Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 can (16 oz) biscuit dough (8-count, regular or flaky layers)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ cup cinnamon sugar (mix 6 tbsp granulated sugar + 2½ tsp ground cinnamon)

Optional glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar + 1 tbsp water (adjust for thickness)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven:
Set oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or small cast iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Prep the bites:
Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and roll into small balls. Dip each ball into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

3. Bake until golden:
Arrange coated bites in a single layer in the baking dish. Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes.

4. Glaze (Optional):
Mix powdered sugar with water in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over warm bites before serving.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

  • Use Flaky Biscuits for Extra Texture: The layers bake into soft, buttery pillows that tear just like classic cinnamon rolls.
  • Double-Coat for Extra Flavor: For an even richer bite, dip in butter and cinnamon sugar twice before baking.
  • Make It Dessert-Ready: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dip them in the glaze like donut holes!
