Crispy Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites Recipe

Introduction

Crispy Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are an easy and delightful treat perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. These bite-sized pastries combine soft, baked biscuit texture with a crunchy, caramelized cinnamon sugar coating. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

• 20 ounces refrigerated canned biscuits (567 grams, 1 tube)
• ½ cup salted butter (113 grams, melted, 1 stick)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (18 grams)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Step 2: Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
3. Step 3: Bake the biscuit quarters for 7-10 minutes, or until cooked through but still pale in color.
4. Step 4: While the biscuits bake, melt the butter in a small mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
5. Step 5: When the biscuits are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bites cool for about 5 minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Keep the oven rack in the middle position and switch your oven setting to broil.
6. Step 6: Dip each biscuit quarter into the melted butter, then coat generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Return the coated biscuit bites to the baking sheet.
7. Step 7: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely until the cinnamon sugar caramelizes and becomes crispy. Be careful not to burn them.
8. Step 8: Transfer the biscuit bites to a cooling rack, cool for 30 seconds, then arrange on a serving plate. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon sugar mixture before coating.
• Try using honey or maple syrup instead of melted butter for a different sweet twist.
• If you prefer a less crispy coating, lightly toast the biscuit bites instead of broiling.

Storage

Store leftover biscuit bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them briefly in a toaster oven or regular oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes to refresh the crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bites soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuits instead of canned?

Yes, homemade biscuits work well but may require slightly different baking times. Make sure they are fully baked before coating with cinnamon sugar.

How do I prevent the cinnamon sugar from burning under the broiler?

Watch the biscuit bites closely while broiling, as cinnamon sugar caramelizes quickly. Keep the broiling time to 1-2 minutes and remove as soon as you see a golden crust forming.

Biscuit Bites

• 20 ounces refrigerated canned biscuits (1 tube, 567 grams)

Coating

• ½ cup salted butter, melted (113 grams, 1 stick)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (18 grams)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
2. Cut Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow even baking and space for expansion.
3. Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuit quarters for 7-10 minutes or until they are just cooked through. The bites should remain pale in color without browning too much.
4. Melt Butter and Mix Sugar: While the biscuits bake, melt the salted butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon evenly to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
5. Cool Biscuits: Remove the baked biscuit bites from the oven and 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 turn on the broiler.
6. Coat Biscuit Bites: Dip each cooled biscuit quarter first into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly covered. Return the coated bites back to the baking sheet.
7. Broil Biscuit Bites: Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler for about 1-2 minutes to caramelize the cinnamon sugar. Watch closely, as the sugar can burn quickly.
8. Cool and Serve: Transfer the broiled biscuit bites to a cooling rack and let them cool for about 30 seconds. Then, arrange on a serving plate and enjoy immediately while still crispy.

Notes

• Watch the broiler closely during caramelization to prevent burning of the sugar coating.
• Use fresh refrigerated biscuit dough for the best texture and flavor.
• These biscuit bites are best served immediately for maximum crispiness.
• Substitute unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
• To make it vegan, use a dairy-free butter alternative and check the biscuit dough ingredients accordingly.
