How to Make: Quick Overview

This recipe is unbelievably simple: roll biscuit rounds in cinnamon sugar, bake, and enjoy. Preparation takes under 5 minutes, baking about 10–12 minutes, so you’ll have fresh bites in roughly 15 minutes. The standout element is the crispy, caramelized exterior formed by the cinnamon-sugar coating contrasted with a soft, fluffy center. It’s a small, satisfying sweet that’s easy to scale for a crowd.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10–12 minutes
Total time: 15–17 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 small roll of canned biscuits (6–8 biscuits) — no need to thaw if using refrigerated, just separate before coating
• 1/8 cup granulated white sugar — measured and ready
• 1/8 cup packed brown sugar — measured and ready
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon — stir into the sugar for even flavor

Directions

1. Preheat the oven according to the biscuit package instructions. Most canned biscuits bake around 375°F (190°C), but follow the package for best results.
2. Open the biscuit roll and separate the biscuits gently along the perforations; into individual rounds.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Use a fork to break up any brown sugar clumps.
4. Roll each biscuit in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Press lightly so the sugar adheres, but don’t flatten the biscuit—keep it round.
5. Place the coated biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them so they don’t touch.
6. Bake according to the package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and the cinnamon sugar looks slightly caramelized.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving—about 2 to 3 minutes so the sugar sets but the bites remain warm.

What to Serve With

• Warm vanilla glaze: whisk powdered sugar with a splash of milk and vanilla for dipping.
• Cream cheese dip: beat cream cheese with a little powdered sugar and milk for a tangy companion.
• Fresh fruit: berries or sliced apples cut the sweetness and add freshness.
• Coffee or hot chocolate: pair with a strong cup of coffee or a rich hot chocolate for a cozy pairing.
• Whipped cream or vanilla yogurt: serve as a light topping for brunch-style presentation.

Top Tips for Perfecting

• Even coating: tamp the cinnamon-sugar onto the biscuit lightly with your hands to help it stick during baking.
• Browning control: if your bites brown too quickly, lower the oven temp by 25°F and extend baking by a few minutes to cook through without burning the sugar.
• Texture tweak: for extra crunch, brush the biscuits lightly with melted butter before rolling in cinnamon sugar.
• Flavor boost: add a pinch of nutmeg or a half-teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sugar mix for depth.
• Common mistake: overcrowding the baking sheet leads to uneven baking—leave space between bites.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Refrigerator: Store leftover cooled bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: For longer storage, flash-freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before reheating.
• Reheating: Warm in a 325°F oven for 5–7 minutes until heated through to restore crispness; avoid microwaving unless you prefer very soft biscuits—microwaving for 15–20 seconds works in a pinch but softens the coating.
• Freshness tip: Re-crisp in a toaster oven for a minute if the coating loses its crunch.

FAQs

How many bites does this recipe make?
This small roll of canned biscuits yields 6 to 8 bites, depending on the brand and exact number in the can.

Can I use gluten-free canned biscuits?
Yes. If you have a gluten-free canned biscuit option, follow the same steps—baking times may vary slightly, so watch for golden brown color.

Can I add fillings like chocolate or jam?
You can, but be careful: adding fillings may cause the biscuit to open while baking. If adding, press a small dab of chocolate or jam into the center and pinch the biscuit closed before coating.

Is there a dairy-free option?
Use a dairy-free biscuit or biscuit dough and skip the butter step if you choose that suggested tip. Most canned biscuits contain dairy, so check labels.

Can I make these ahead for a party?
You can coat and bake them shortly before guests arrive, or bake earlier and reheat in the oven just before serving. For best texture, avoid microwaving when serving to company.
