This recipe uses simple ingredients that come together beautifully.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerated biscuit dough | 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) | 8-count |
| Unsalted butter | ¼ cup (½ stick), melted | |
| Granulated sugar | ½ cup (100 g) | |

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters (or sixths for smaller bites).
3. Coat in Butter and Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, melt the butter. In another small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the coated biscuit bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. Bake
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
6. Serve
Serve warm. They are wonderful on their own, or with a drizzle of icing or a dollop of whipped cream.
