Ingredients
For the Biscuit Bites
- 1 small roll of canned biscuits (e.g., 6-8 count)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar Mixture
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1–2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, for melting
For the Simple Vanilla Glaze
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar (Confectioner’s Sugar)
- 1–2 teaspoons Milk (Add slowly to reach desired consistency)
- 1/8 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
👩🍳 Instructions & Methods
Step 1: Prep and Melt
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the Butter: Place the butter into your baking pan (a 6×9 inch pan works well). Put the pan into the preheated oven until the butter is completely melted. Remove the pan and swirl the butter to coat the bottom.
Step 2: Coat the Biscuits
- Cut the Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Mix the Coating: In a medium Ziploc bag, combine the sugar mixture and the cinnamon. Shake to mix thoroughly.
- Coat: Add the quartered biscuit pieces to the bag and shake vigorously until every piece is completely coated.
Step 3: Bake
- Arrange and Bake: Carefully place the coated biscuit pieces onto the melted butter in the baking pan.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 4: Glaze and Serve
- Prepare the Glaze: While the biscuit bites are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Finish: After removing the biscuit bites from the oven, let them cool for a minute or two. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm bites.
- Serve: Serve immediately while they are still warm and gooey!
