Description

Cinnamon sugar biscuit bites blend sweet warmth with buttery comfort in a classic Southern-style treat. Crisp edges and sugary coating make these small morsels perfect for breakfast or afternoon snacking.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz/450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsps ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsps milk or heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Oven Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350F (175C) and shield the baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating to prevent adhesion.
  2. Dough Transformation: Extricate biscuits from the container, partition each into four symmetrical quarters, and mold into delicate spheres.
  3. Butter Liquefaction: Dispatch butter into a microwave-safe vessel, liquefying it into a smooth, translucent state.
  4. Coating Creation: Merge granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow receptacle, crafting a fragrant, sweet encapsulation.
  5. Dough Coating: Submerge each dough ball into molten butter, allowing excess to cascade off, then roll vigorously in the cinnamon-sugar fusion until completely shrouded.
  6. Baking Arrangement: Distribute the spice-coated orbs across the prepared surface, ensuring strategic spacing for uniform heat circulation.
  7. Baking and Monitoring: Nestle the baking sheet into the heated oven, surveying for 12-15 minutes until a golden-bronze exterior emerges and the pastries acquire a slightly inflated profile.
  8. Glaze Preparation and Finishing: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a silky elixir. Upon emergence, either cascade the glossy mixture over the bites or present as a complementary dipping nectar.
  9. Serving Suggestion: Indulge immediately to savor peak texture and warmth, with the option of gentle reheating if necessary.

Notes

  • Prevent Butter Overflow: Melt butter in short, controlled microwave bursts to avoid splattering and ensure smooth, even consistency.
  • Maintain Uniform Size: Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut biscuit dough into precise, equal-sized quarters for consistent baking and appearance.
  • Coating Technique: Roll dough balls gently in cinnamon-sugar mixture, applying light pressure to ensure even, complete coverage without clumping.
  • Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute store-bought biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or homemade almond flour biscuit dough for celiac-friendly version.
