How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the butter into a 6×9-inch baking pan and place it in the oven for a few minutes until completely melted.

Carefully remove the pan and swirl the butter around so the entire bottom is coated.

Step 2: Cut the Biscuits

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough.

Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into four equal pieces.

This helps them bake evenly and creates perfectly bite-sized treats.

Step 3: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

In a medium bowl or a large zip-top bag, combine:

Granulated sugar
Ground cinnamon

Add the biscuit pieces and gently toss until every piece is completely coated in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 4: Arrange in the Pan

Place the coated biscuit pieces evenly into the prepared baking pan over the melted butter.

Leave a little space between the pieces so they can puff up while baking.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are puffed, lightly golden, and fully cooked through.

The bottoms will become deliciously buttery while the tops develop a sweet cinnamon crust.

Step 6: Prepare the Vanilla Glaze

While the biscuit bites bake, whisk together:

Powdered sugar
Milk
Vanilla extract

Mix until completely smooth.

If the glaze is too thick, add a few drops of milk.

If it’s too thin, whisk in a little more powdered sugar.

Step 7: Glaze and Serve

Remove the biscuit bites from the oven.

Allow them to cool for 2–3 minutes.

Drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the warm biscuit bites.

Serve immediately while they’re soft, warm, and delicious.

Pro Tips & Cooking Secrets

Use fresh refrigerated biscuit dough for the fluffiest texture and best rise.

Don’t overcrowd the baking pan—slightly spacing the biscuit pieces helps them bake evenly.

Drizzle the glaze while the bites are still warm so it lightly melts into every piece.

Serve immediately for the softest texture and freshest flavour.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with hot coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

Pair with fresh berries for a simple brunch dessert.

Enjoy alongside vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Add them to a holiday breakfast or brunch buffet.

How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Store leftover Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate them for up to 4 days.

To reheat, microwave individual portions for about 10–15 seconds or warm them in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes until soft and warm again.

Although these biscuit bites are best enjoyed fresh, they can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm before serving for the best texture.
