Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces/450 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Coating Ingredients:
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients:
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare for baking by heating the oven to 350F (175C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Carefully separate each biscuit from the can and slice them into four uniform quarters. Gently shape each quarter into a perfectly round ball.
- Transform butter into a liquid state using a microwave-safe container, ensuring it becomes completely smooth and melted.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow mixing vessel, creating a fragrant and sweet coating mixture.
- Immerse each dough ball first into the liquefied butter, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately transfer to the cinnamon-sugar mixture, rotating until completely enrobed in the sweet spice blend.
- Arrange the coated spheres on the prepared baking surface, positioning them with slight separation to allow even heat circulation.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and monitor for 12-15 minutes. Look for a golden-brown exterior and slightly puffed appearance as indicators of doneness.
- While pastries bake, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until a silky glaze forms. Once bites emerge from the oven, drizzle with the glossy topping or serve as a complementary dipping sauce.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and warmth. These delectable morsels are most enjoyable fresh from the oven but can be gently reheated if needed.
Notes
- Choose refrigerated biscuit dough that’s slightly cold for easier cutting and more precise ball shaping.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt level and prevent the bites from becoming too salty.
- Space biscuit balls slightly apart on the baking sheet to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
- Customize the flavor by experimenting with different spice blends like pumpkin pie spice or adding orange zest to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit or crescent roll dough.
- Keep an eye on baking time, as ovens vary – golden brown color indicates perfect doneness without burning.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to maintain crispy texture.
- Transform these bites into a decadent dessert by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzling with chocolate sauce.
