Ingredients
For the Biscuit Bites
-
- 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough
-
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
-
- ½ cup granulated sugar
-
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Optional Glaze (Highly Recommended)
-
- ½ cup powdered sugar
-
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
-
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, mix together:
- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon
Stir until evenly combined and set aside.
Step 3: Cut the Biscuit Dough
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into quarters.
These small pieces are what create the perfect bite-sized shape and allow for even cooking.
Step 4: Coat with Butter
Place the biscuit pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the melted butter over the dough and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
The butter helps the cinnamon sugar stick and creates that rich, golden exterior.
Step 5: Toss in Cinnamon Sugar
Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to the bowl with the buttered biscuit pieces.
Gently toss until every piece is fully coated.
Make sure no dry spots remain—this coating is where the flavor really shines.
Step 6: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the coated biscuit bites evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece so they can puff and brown properly.
Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until:
- The biscuit bites are puffed
- The tops are golden brown
- Your kitchen smells like warm cinnamon sugar heaven
Avoid overbaking—they should be soft and fluffy inside.
Step 8: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
While the biscuit bites are baking, whisk together:
- Powdered sugar
- Milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed)
- Vanilla extract
The glaze should be smooth and pourable but not too thin.
