Biscuit Base
- Canned biscuit dough or homemade biscuit dough (quantity as needed, typically 8 biscuits per can)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice (for variation)
Butter and Flavoring
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Open your biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into small, 1-inch bite-sized pieces for quick baking and perfect portions.
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, combine granulated sugar with cinnamon powder and, if desired, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice until well blended to coat every bite with warm, aromatic flavor.
- Coat the Bites: Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, then toss or roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly and generously coated.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated biscuit bites evenly spaced on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden, puffy, and fragrant.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove the bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm to enjoy their perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Notes
- Use cold biscuit dough to keep the inside tender while achieving a crisp exterior.
- Don’t skip the butter; it helps the cinnamon sugar stick and enhances flavor.
- Toss the biscuit pieces thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar for balanced taste.
- Keep a close eye during baking after 10 minutes to avoid drying out the bites.
- Serve the bites warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
