Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 20 ounces refrigerated canned biscuits (567 grams, 1 tube)
Coating
- ½ cup salted butter (113 grams, melted, 1 stick)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (18 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prepare for baking.
- Cut biscuits: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters. Arrange the quartered biscuits on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 1 inch apart to allow even baking.
- Bake biscuits: Bake the biscuit pieces for 7 to 10 minutes, just until they are cooked through but still pale in color, ensuring they remain tender inside.
- Prepare coating: While biscuits bake, melt the salted butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
- Cool biscuits: Once baking is complete, remove the biscuits from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet until they are cool to the touch, approximately 5 minutes. Keep the oven rack in the middle position and switch the oven to broil.
- Dip biscuits: Dip each biscuit quarter into the melted butter, then coat it evenly in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place the coated biscuits back on the baking sheet.
- Broil to caramelize: Place the baking sheet under the oven broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the cinnamon sugar coating. Watch carefully to prevent burning, as the sugar caramelizes quickly.
- Serve: Transfer the caramelized biscuit bites to a cooling rack for 30 seconds to set. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy, sweet bites at their best.
Notes
- Keep a close eye while broiling, as the cinnamon sugar can burn rapidly.
- Use parchment paper if possible to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- For a richer flavor, you can use melted unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
