Ingredients
-
Canned biscuits (small roll) — 1 roll (keep chilled until ready)
-
Sugar (white + brown mix) — ¼ cup (50/50 blend)
-
Ground cinnamon — 1 tsp
-
Butter — 1–2 Tbsp, for melting in the pan
For the Icing
-
Powdered sugar — ¼ cup, sifted
-
Milk — 1–2 tsp (adjust to drizzle consistency)
-
Vanilla extract — ⅛ tsp
Instructions
-
Preheat & Melt Butter — Preheat oven to 350°F (175–180°C). Add 1–2 Tbsp butter to a 6×9-inch baking pan and place in the oven to melt, coating the base and corners.
-
Cut the Biscuits — Open the biscuit tube and cut each biscuit into quarters (keep dough cold for cleaner cuts).
-
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar — In a large zip-top bag or bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar (half white, half brown) with 1 tsp cinnamon. Add biscuit pieces and toss/shake to coat evenly (work in two batches if needed).
-
Arrange in Pan — Remove hot, buttered pan carefully. Spread coated dough in a single layer with a little space between pieces for airflow.
-
Bake — Bake 15 minutes, until puffed, golden, and set in the center. Edges should look caramelized; tops should spring back to a gentle press.
-
Make Icing — Whisk ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1–2 tsp milk, and ⅛ tsp vanilla until smooth and pourable; adjust thickness with a drop of milk or a spoon of sugar.
-
Finish & Serve — Drizzle icing over hot bites. Serve warm for best crisp-meets-tender texture. (Optional: dust with a pinch of cinnamon sugar before icing sets.)
Notes
-
Pan size swap: A small 8×8-inch pan works; watch for 1–2 extra minutes if pieces touch.
-
Extra crisp: Leave more space between pieces or use two pans.
-
Flavor twists: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the sugar mix; sub orange juice for part of the milk in icing.
-
Storage: Best same day. Cool fully, store airtight at room temp 1 day. Re-crisp at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 min.
-
Serving idea: Dip in warm caramel or chocolate sauce for dessert boards.
