So I just started making this recipe a month or so ago and I have been requested to make multiple times since. It never lasts for very long when I make it and I'm lucky if I get A lot of recipes I found for monkey bread are for THREE tubes of ready to bake biscuits which is fine if you're hosting a huge party but if its Sunday afternoon and you want to make a simple, delicious treat for your family, this is the recipe for you! My boys don't actually like their monkey bread too sweet but if your family loves the sweetness, you may want to increase the sugar amount below to 3/4 cup- 1 cup. I also really like making my monkey bread in silicone donut molds. I find they cook quicker, more evenly and you end up with a single serve size treat. Enjoy! (Start by pre-heating your oven to 350 degrees) Ingredients: *1 can/ tube of pre-made biscuits. (Most recipes with steer you away from the flaky biscuits but to be honest, Iused them once by accident and I really liked it!) *1/2 cup of granulated sugar *1/4 of packed brown sugar *1 tsp- 1/2 tbl of cinnamon (I always use 1/2 tbl but not everyone loves cinnamon as much as I do) *1 stick of butter (unsalted) donut mold or small bunt pan. To start, cut the biscuits into 8ths. I like to use my bench scraper to section out my biscuits instead of a knife. It's much easier. Next, melt the butter. You can do this on the stove but it's much easier to use a glass bowl and the microwave. Then add in the dry ingredients to the butter. After the sweet buttery mixture is made, you'll need to smoosh the sectioned biscuit pieces into a ball-like shape, Some recipes tell you to roll them into balls but if dough gets worked too much it can become tough. Then you'll want to coat the biscuit balls with the mixture and pack into the molds. You'll want to divide the remaining mixture into the molds. I find this amount makes 5 servings when you pack the molds tightly. Place the mold on a baking sheet to avoid spill over. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes to start. Bake until tops are golden brown. Let cool before removing from molds and enjoy!
