This recipe uses canned biscuit dough for a fast, delicious, oven-baked treat.
📝 Ingredients
| Item | Amount | Notes |
| Refrigerated Biscuit Dough | 1 can (8 biscuits) | Use the flaky or layered style. |
| Granulated Sugar | $1/2$ cup | For the coating. |
| Ground Cinnamon | 1 tablespoon | For the coating. |
| Unsalted Butter | $1/4$ cup ($55\text{ g}$) | Melted, for dipping. |
| Optional Glaze | ||
| Powdered Sugar | $1/2$ cup | |
| Milk or Water | 1-2 tablespoons |
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Dough and Coating
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a $9\text{-inch}$ cake pan, a square pan, or a muffin tin (if making individual bites).
- Cut Dough: Open the can of biscuits. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each biscuit into 4 to 6 equally sized pieces.
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a small, shallow bowl.
- Mix Coating: In another small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
2. Dip, Coat, and Bake
- Dip: Take a piece of cut biscuit dough, dip it completely into the melted butter, ensuring it’s coated on all sides.
- Coat: Immediately transfer the butter-coated dough piece into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Toss it gently until it is fully covered.
- Arrange: Place the coated dough pieces into your prepared pan. They should be arranged snugly together.
- Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through. (If using a muffin tin, check earlier around 12–15 minutes).
3. Glaze and Serve
- Cool Slightly: Let the bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Glaze (Optional): While they cool, whisk the powdered sugar with the milk or water until you reach a thin drizzling consistency.
- Serve: Turn the bites out onto a plate (if using a single pan) and drizzle generously with the glaze, or serve them warm directly from the muffin tin.
These are fantastic served warm right out of the oven for breakfast or dessert!
