A foolproof, comfort-food dessert made with refrigerated biscuits, butter, cinnamon, and sugar. It comes together in under 15 minutes and bakes into a sticky, golden, gooey treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16 oz total) large flaky refrigerated biscuits
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Splash of heavy cream or whole milk (for coating)
  • Optional Glaze: Powdered sugar, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and/or cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a bundt pan or 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Separate the biscuits into individual pieces. If large, cut each biscuit into quarters or eighths. Place dough pieces in a large bowl.
  4. Pour the cinnamon butter mixture over the biscuit pieces. Toss gently but thoroughly until every piece is coated.
  5. Pour about one-third of the coated biscuits into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar if desired. Repeat with remaining biscuits, packing them in slightly but leaving room to rise.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and sugar is bubbling vigorously. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes to allow caramel to set.
  8. Invert onto a serving platter. If needed, push any stuck pieces back in with a spatula.
  9. Drizzle with optional glaze (powdered sugar, milk, vanilla) while warm. Serve immediately.

Notes

Grease the pan generously to prevent sticking. Let the bread rest for 10 minutes before inverting to ensure the caramel sets. For a crunchier top, sprinkle coarse sugar before baking. Can be made ahead by assembling and refrigerating overnight; add 5-10 minutes to baking time.
