🧰 Equipment
- Mixing bowl

📝 Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
🍴 Ingredient Notes
- Biscuit Dough: Use any brand of refrigerated biscuits. Flaky or buttermilk styles both work great.
- Butter: Unsalted butter helps balance the sweetness, but salted butter can be used for a little flavor boost.
- Cinnamon: Freshly ground cinnamon will give the best aroma and flavor.
- Sugar: White sugar is classic, but you can try brown sugar for a caramel-like twist.
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the Dough
Open the biscuit can and cut each biscuit into four bite-sized pieces.
3. Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until smooth.
4. Coat with Butter
Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, making sure it’s coated evenly.
5. Roll in Cinnamon Sugar
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll each butter-coated dough piece in the mixture until fully covered.
6. Arrange and Bake
Place the coated pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
7. Serve Warm
Remove from the oven, let cool for 2–3 minutes, and enjoy while warm!
