  • 3 (10 ounce) cans buttermilk biscuits (the non-flaky ones)
  • 1 cup sugar

directions

  • preheat that oven to 350.
  • open up all three cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
  • At this time you’ll want to combine the 1 cup of regular sugar with 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon. I use 3 teaspoons of cinnamon and this gives it a fairly strong cinnamon flavor. If you’re not so hot on cinnamon, cut it back to 2 teaspoons. Dump these into a 1 gallon zip bag and shake to mix evenly.
  • drop all of the biscuit quarters into the cinnamon-sugar mix. Go ahead…all of them. Yes, they’re sticking together right now, but just trust me.
  • Once all the biscuit quarters are in the bag, seal it and give it a vigorous shake. You might have some excess sugar left over and that’s okay.
  • Spread these nuggets out evenly in your bundt pan. I suppose you might want to grease this pan before doing this, but I’m pretty sure the gallon of butter we are about to add will keep it safe. Un-greased always works for me.
  • melt those two sticks of butter together with 1/2cup of brown sugar. This can be light or dark brown sugar.
  • Stir together over a medium-high heat until the two become one.
  • Once the brown sugar butter has become one color, you can pour it over the biscuits.At first…it’s going to look like too much. It’s okay though.
  • Bake this @ 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes until the crust is a deep brown on top.
  • If you have the willpower, allow this to cool for about 15-30 minutes before turning it over onto a plate. If it doesn’t slide right down onto the plate, give it a few love-taps until it plops. It’ll hold.

  1. Can I keep this in the bundt pan to stay warm, if I have to transport after baking or will it get too sticky to release from the pan ?

  1. The first recipe we made in 7th grade Home Ec. Not my own first recipe as I had been helping in the kitchen for years by then, but still a classic. Sugary, buttery, everything you'd want as a kid. Pecans add a nice crunch that I like. We also put maraschino cherries in the bottom of the pan for color when it is turned out onto a platter.

  2. What's not to like? Delicious for our Valentine's breakfast! And I love things that my kids can help make. The 4 year old cut the biscuits and the 2 year old threw them in the bag. We cut the recipe to 1/3 to use one can of biscuits and made it in a loaf pan. Thanks for posting!

  3. Well there goes my diet! This recipe is insanely delicious, and I couldn't stop picking off little bites here and there. It was also so super easy to make. I was skeptical that it wouldn't come out of the pan easily but it totally did! Definitely make this, I'm still dreaming about it.

  1. You can also do this recipe in the microwave. That makes it safer for the kiddos. And if you don't have a bundt pan you can just use a round baking dish and put something circular that is oven-safe such as a petri dish or something, directly in the center to keep that space empty, then start piling your biscuits around that.
