Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small roll canned biscuits
- ¼ cup sugar (white and brown mix)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1–2 tbsps butter (melted)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsps milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C), creating an ideal baking environment for golden, crispy treats.
- Butter Base: Melt butter in a baking pan, establishing a rich, flavor-enhancing foundation for the biscuit bites.
- Dough Transformation: Quarter refrigerated biscuit rounds into triangular morsels, preparing them for their sugary coating.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Fusion: Blend granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl to create a tantalizing coating mixture.
- Coating Process: Envelop each biscuit piece completely in the aromatic cinnamon-sugar blend, ensuring thorough and even coverage.
- Pan Arrangement: Nestle the sugar-crusted bites in the butter-lined pan, spacing them slightly to allow for even baking and caramelization.
- Baking Alchemy: Bake for 14-16 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown hue and crisp, slightly raised edges that signal perfect doneness.
- Glaze Creation: Whisk powdered sugar, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract into a silky, drizzle-ready glaze while the bites are baking.
- Final Flourish: Once removed from the oven, let the bites rest briefly, then cascade the vanilla glaze over the warm surface, allowing it to settle into every crevice.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy immediately for peak flavor and texture, or allow to cool slightly for a more set glaze and easier handling.
Notes
- Butter Melting Tip: Melt butter directly in the baking pan for an effortless, even coating that prevents sticking and adds rich flavor.
- Dough Cutting Technique: Slice refrigerated biscuit dough into uniform triangles for consistent baking and professional-looking results.
- Sugar Coating Trick: Roll biscuit pieces completely in cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring every surface gets a delicious, caramelized exterior.
- Glaze Perfection: Whisk glaze ingredients until silky smooth, creating a beautiful drizzle that adds a sweet finish to the warm biscuit bites.
