Ingredients
Scale
- Dough:
- 2 cans (16.5 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Glaze:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
- Coat each biscuit piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them in a greased bundt pan.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the biscuit pieces.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, then pour this mixture over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Notes
- This dish can be prepared the night before; simply assemble the dough and glaze, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans and add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving.
