Ingredients

1 small roll of canned biscuits

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 teaspoons milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 2: Place the butter in a baking pan and let it melt in the oven while it heats up.
Step 3: Cut the canned biscuits into quarters.
Step 4: In a plastic bag, combine the white and brown sugar with the ground cinnamon. Add the biscuit quarters and shake to coat them evenly.
Step 5: Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the melted butter in the baking pan.
Step 6: Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown.
Step 7: While the bites bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth to prepare the icing.
Step 8: Once baked, drizzle the icing over the warm biscuit bites.
Step 9: Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Use equal parts white and brown sugar for a rich, caramel-like flavor in the cinnamon sugar coating.
For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use a plant-based milk for the icing.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to the cinnamon sugar for a deeper spice profile.
Try dipping the biscuit bites in honey or maple syrup as an alternative to the vanilla icing.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon sugar biscuit bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be gently warmed in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving. The icing may be reapplied if it absorbs into the bites after storage.

How to Serve

This image shows small square pieces of fried dough stacked closely together on a surface with a white marbled texture. Each piece has a golden-brown color with a slightly rough texture from being fried, and they are coated evenly with granules of white sugar and light brown cinnamon powder, giving a sparkling effect. Some sugar granules have spilled around the base of the dough pieces. In the background, blurred similar fried dough pieces are placed in a shallow white bowl. The overall look is warm and inviting with a homemade feel. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?

Absolutely. Homemade biscuit dough will work just as well—just cut it into quarters and follow the same steps. Keep in mind baking times may vary slightly.

What can I substitute for powdered sugar in the icing?

If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can blend granulated sugar in a food processor until fine or use a simple glaze made with honey and milk, though it will be less smooth.

Biscuit Bites

1 small roll of canned biscuits
1/4 cup sugar (a mix of white and brown sugar)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1–2 tablespoons butter

Vanilla Icing

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1–2 teaspoons milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the biscuit bites.
Prepare the Pan: Place the butter in a baking pan and return it to the oven, allowing the butter to melt as the oven preheats.

Bake: Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the melted butter inside the baking pan. Bake them for about 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Icing: While the biscuit bites are baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until the icing is smooth and slightly runny for easy drizzling.
Finish: Once the biscuit bites are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the prepared vanilla icing evenly over them.
Serve: Enjoy your Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites warm for the best flavor and texture, or serve them at room temperature.

Notes

Use a mix of white and brown sugar for a richer flavor and moisture.
Adjust the amount of milk in the icing to get the desired consistency.
