Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 cans refrigerated biscuits
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray or grease with butter.
  3. Combine 1/3 cup sugar with 2 tsp. cinnamon.
  4. Open the 3 cans of biscuits and separate them. Cut each one into quarters. Tip: a pizza cutter makes this job even easier!
  5. Toss the cut-up biscuits in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. You can do this in a bowl (one with a lid makes it especially easy, because you can shake it gently to coat the pieces) or use a plastic freezer bag.
  6. Spread these coated pieces evenly into the Bundt pan.
  7. Melt butter and stir in the brown sugar. Pour this over the biscuits in the pan.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until baked through. Let cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes and then, turn out onto a plate.Don't leave it any longer or it could become stuck in the pan.
  9. I prefer to eat as-is but you can drizzle a simple glaze over the loaf. Just stir together 1/2 cup of icing sugar with 3-4 tsp to make the glaze.
  10. To eat, simply pull off pieces of the bread.
