• 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the dough: Separate the refrigerated biscuits and cut each into four equal pieces, making approximately 32 bites.
  3. Arrange and bake: Spread the pieces on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10–14 minutes until puffed, golden, and fully cooked inside.
  4. Prepare the coating: In a bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and optional salt. Melt the butter separately.
  5. Brush with butter: While the biscuit bites are still warm, brush them generously with melted butter, covering all sides.
  6. Coat in cinnamon sugar: Transfer the buttered bites to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
  7. Serve warm: Enjoy immediately while the centers are soft and fluffy and the cinnamon-sugar coating is fresh.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Keep the pieces evenly sized so they bake at the same rate.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet or the edges may not brown evenly.
  • Coat while warm so the cinnamon sugar sticks properly.
  • Add extra flavor: Mix ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted butter, or add a pinch of nutmeg to the sugar.
  • Try a sweet dip: Serve with vanilla icing, cream cheese dip, or caramel sauce.

Storage: Keep cooled leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a fresher texture.

Air Fryer Option: Cook the dough pieces at approximately 320°F (160°C) for 5–8 minutes, checking that the centers are fully baked before coating.

These little cinnamon-sugar treats are simple, inexpensive, and perfect for sharing. Once you taste them warm, buttery, and freshly coated, it’s hard to stop at just one!
