Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Bites
- 1 can biscuits (16.3 ounces), buttermilk or flaky style
- ½ stick butter, melted (2 ounces)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare biscuit dough: Open the canned biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the bites: Bake the biscuit balls until they turn golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Expect them to spread and lose their round shape, which is normal for flaky biscuits.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: While the biscuit bites are baking, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cool the biscuit bites: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for five minutes. If desired, break the flaky biscuit bites in half for easier coating.
- Coat in butter and cinnamon sugar: Place the cooled biscuit bites in a large bowl, pour the melted butter over them, and stir to coat evenly. Then add the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss until every bite is thoroughly coated.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites fresh on the day they are made. Store any leftovers covered at room temperature and consume within one day for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use flaky biscuit dough for the best texture and easy breaking in half.
- For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of regular melted butter.
- If you like your bites extra cinnamon-y, increase the cinnamon to 1½ teaspoons.
- These are best eaten fresh; leftover bites can be lightly reheated in the oven to regain crispness.
- Gluten-free biscuit dough can be substituted if you want a gluten-free version, adjusting baking time if necessary.
