Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 small roll of canned biscuits
- ¼ cup (60 ml) mixed white and brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cinnamon
Binding and Moisture Ingredients:
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) butter
- 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 ml) milk
Finishing Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C), strategically positioning a baking dish to allow butter to melt simultaneously during preheating.
- Carefully slice refrigerated biscuits into precise quarter segments using a sharp kitchen knife.
- Transfer biscuit quarters into a sealed plastic bag containing a thoroughly mixed cinnamon and granulated sugar blend.
- Gently shake the sealed bag, ensuring each biscuit piece becomes completely coated with the fragrant cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Arrange the sugar-dusted biscuit quarters onto the preheated pan with melted butter, positioning them to allow even heat distribution.
- Slide the prepared pan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, monitoring until the edges turn a delectable golden brown.
- While biscuits are baking, prepare a smooth glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and pure vanilla extract until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Remove baked cinnamon bites from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Generously drizzle the prepared vanilla glaze over the warm cinnamon bites, allowing the icing to cascade and settle into the crispy, sugar-crusted surfaces.
Notes
- Perfect for weekend brunches or surprise breakfast treats that wow family and friends.
- Leftover bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
- Kids love helping roll biscuits in cinnamon-sugar, making this a fun family cooking activity.
- Experiment with different spice blends like adding nutmeg or cardamom for unique flavor profiles.
- Serve warm for maximum gooey, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness right out of the oven.
- Substitute buttermilk biscuits for extra tangy, rich texture in the final result.
