Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Edi toron

(Makes 20–24 bites)

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10-count, like Pillsbury Grands!)
    → Or 2 cups homemade biscuit dough, cut into 1-inch pieces

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1½ tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp (½ stick / 57g) unsalted butter, melted

Optional Glaze:

  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Use “Grands!” biscuits for extra fluffiness.
  • Don’t skip melting the butter—it helps the cinnamon sugar stick.
  • Double the cinnamon if you love bold spice!

Step-by-Step Instructions (Easy, Crispy, Foolproof)

1. Prep & Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cut & Bake the Biscuits

  • Separate biscuits and cut each into 4 quarters (or 6 for smaller bites).
  • Arrange on baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden and puffed.

3. Coat While Warm

  • In a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl, place melted butter.
  • While biscuits are still hot, dip each bite into butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
  • Place back on baking sheet.

4. Optional: Add Glaze

  • Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle over warm bites—or serve on the side for dipping.

5. Serve Immediately

  • Best warm! Serve in a bowl or on a platter with napkins (they’re sticky!).
