- Granulated Sugar: It provides sweetness and texture, forming the classic sugary coating on the bites.
- Ground Cinnamon: It infuses the bites with warm, comforting spice, creating a classic pairing with sugar for a cozy flavor.
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites
These easy bites come together in a matter of minutes!
1. Prep. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Slice the biscuits. Open the can of biscuits and separate them into individual pieces. Slice each biscuit into four equal parts.
3. Bake. Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they puff up and turn a light golden brown.
4. Make the cinnamon sugar mixture. While the biscuit bites are baking, stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl to create the coating.
5. Dip and roll. Once the biscuits are out of the oven and cool enough to handle, dip each one into the melted butter. Coat all sides. Immediately roll the buttered biscuit bite in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully covered.
6. Serve. Serve warm for a delicious treat that’s perfect for sharing!
Tips for the Best Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites
Here are some tips to ensure your bites come out perfectly.
- Keep things even. Cut the biscuits evenly to ensure they cook uniformly. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors for precision.
- Give them some space. Arrange the biscuit pieces with some space in between. This helps them to bake evenly and puff up without sticking together.
- Watch the time. Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes. Ovens can vary, and baking time might need to be adjusted by 1-2 minutes for the perfect bake.
- Get things prepped. Have the cinnamon-sugar mixture ready before the biscuits come out of the oven to ensure quick coating while hot.
- Don’t hesitate. These bites are best enjoyed hot, so serve them as soon as they’re ready.
How to Store
If you have leftover biscuit bites, keep them fresh with these steps.
To Store: Keep the biscuit bites in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Ensure they’re completely cooled before storing to prevent sogginess.
To Freeze: Wrap the cooled biscuit bites tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Place them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze them for up to 3 months. Flash-freeze them on a tray first before transferring to freezer bags to prevent sticking.
To Reheat: Warm them in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Or microwave in 15-second intervals until heated through. For the best results when using the microwave, cover with a damp paper towel to maintain moisture.
