  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: American

Ingredients

  • 1 can (7.5 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (5 biscuits)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a small ramekin or oven-safe dish (about 10-12 oz capacity) with butter.
  3. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll the pieces into little balls. Tiny dough acrobats if you will!
  4. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Roll each dough ball in the sugary-cinnamony mix. Ensure they’re thoroughly coated.
  6. Place the sugar-coated dough balls in the greased ramekin.
  7. In another small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Stir until you get a sweet, buttery concoction.
  8. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dough balls.
  9. Pop that bad boy in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before devouring. Seriously, it’s lava hot!

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice for a fall twist. Use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar for a nuanced flavor.
  • Garnishing Options: Drizzle with vanilla glaze or caramel sauce. A scoop of vanilla ice cream will make it heavenly.
  • Cooking Tips: Don’t over-bake; nobody likes dry monkey bread. Experiment with adding small nuts like pecans for a crunch.
