Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerator biscuits
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons butter
Directions
- Kick things off by preheating your oven to a toasty 350°F (175°C). Grease a shallow baking pan with butter or cooking spray – your choice!
- Melt the butter in a small bowl. You can zap it in the microwave in 30-second bursts or gently warm it on the stovetop.
- In another bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon – this is where the magic happens!
- Time for the biscuits. Open the package and separate them.
- Slice each biscuit into 4 pieces, then roll each piece into a cute little ball.
- Dip each ball in the melted butter, making sure it’s nicely coated.
- Now, roll the buttery ball in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Make sure it’s well-dressed in that sweet coat!
- Place the cinnamon-sugar covered balls into the baking dish. It’s okay if they’re close friends and touch a bit.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes – patience is key here!
- Let them cool for 5-10 minutes. We know, it’s hard to wait, but it’s worth it!
Notes
- Feel free to get creative! Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract to the sugar-cinnamon mix for an extra flavor twist.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a day or two.
