Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small roll of canned biscuits
- ¼ cup (60 ml) white and brown sugar (mixed)
- 1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
- 1–2 tbsps (15–30 ml) butter
- 1–2 tsps (5–10 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (60 ml) powdered sugar
- 1/8 tsp (0.6 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), simultaneously placing a baking dish to melt butter efficiently.
- Segmenting: Slice refrigerated biscuits into quarter segments using a sharp knife with precision.
- Coating: Transfer biscuit quarters into a sealed plastic bag containing cinnamon and sugar mixture, shaking thoroughly to ensure complete coverage.
- Positioning: Arrange sugar-coated biscuit pieces onto the buttered pan, distributing evenly to promote uniform browning.
- Baking: Slide pan into preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges that indicate perfect caramelization.
- Glazing: While baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a smooth, pourable glaze with silky consistency.
- Finishing: Remove cinnamon bites from oven, allow brief cooling, then generously drizzle vanilla glaze over warm surfaces, letting it cascade and settle into crispy, sugar-crusted texture.
Notes
- Butter Melting Hack: Preheat the oven with a baking dish to simultaneously melt butter, saving time and creating a perfect non-stick surface.
- Coating Technique: Seal biscuit quarters in a plastic bag with cinnamon-sugar mixture for even, mess-free coating that ensures maximum flavor coverage.
- Baking Precision: Watch edges closely during the 15-minute baking window to achieve a golden-brown color without overcooking.
- Glaze Application Tip: Drizzle warm vanilla glaze immediately after baking while cinnamon bites are still hot for maximum absorption and a glossy finish.
