Equipment

• Glass bowl
• 8×8 baking dish
• Measuring spoons
• Mixing bowls

 

Ingredients

• 1 tube refrigerated biscuits (standard size, not Grands)
• 4 tbsp butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Icing:

Instructions

For the Biscuit Bites

1. Prep
   Melt the butter in a shallow glass bowl using reduced microwave power. In another shallow bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
2. Cut
   Using kitchen shears, cut each biscuit into thirds. Separate the pieces on a plate so they don’t stick.
3. Coat
   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray. Dip each biscuit piece in melted butter, then toss in cinnamon-sugar. Place each coated piece into the baking dish.
4. Bake
   Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are deep golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

For the Icing

Whisk confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm biscuit bites.
