Ingredients
Biscuit Bites
- 1 can refrigerated flaky biscuits (16.3 oz, 8-count)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Optional Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 teaspoons milk or cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Cut the Biscuits
Separate the biscuits and cut each one into four equal pieces. This creates bite-sized portions that bake evenly and are easy to serve.
Make the Cinnamon Sugar
In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined.
Coat the Biscuit Bites
Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, allowing excess butter to drip off. Roll the buttered pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Arrange the bites on the baking sheet, leaving about one inch of space between them.
Bake
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bites are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. The outside should be lightly crisp while the inside remains soft and tender.
Add the Glaze (Optional)
While the biscuit bites cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites just before serving.
Tips for Best Results
- Allow excess butter to drip off before coating with sugar to avoid soggy bites.
- Space the biscuit pieces evenly so they brown properly.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar, or substitute brown sugar for a deeper taste.
Serving Ideas
These biscuit bites work beautifully as a sweet breakfast, a quick dessert, or an afternoon snack. Serve them with coffee, hot chocolate, or a glass of cold milk. For extra indulgence, offer vanilla icing or caramel sauce on the side for dipping.
Ready in under 20 minutes, these cinnamon sugar biscuit bites prove that you do not need complicated recipes to create something comforting, delicious, and crowd-pleasing. They are the kind of treat you will find yourself making again and again.
