Sunday mornings are great for trying new recipes. Today it was a simple and tasty monkey bread. It was very easy to make.
Ingredients
4 12-ounce cans regular-size flaky biscuits (such as
Pillsbury)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Sweet Cinnamon Sauce
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, but
very tasty)
Directions
·
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
·
Combine 2/3 cup of sugar and 1 T. cinnamon in a gallon size Ziploc bag
or shallow baking dish.
·
Cut biscuits into quarters and cover with cinnamon-sugar.
·
Place the cinnamon-sugar-coated balls in a greased Bundt pan,
sprinkling some of the cinnamon-sugar over the balls occasionally while filling
the bunt pan.
·
Melt the butter with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla
in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, or in the microwave until sugar and
cinnamon dissolves. Add the chopped nuts.
·
Pour the melted butter mixture over the top of the biscuits balls in
the Bundt pan.
·
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top of the bread is golden and
caramelized.
·
Remove from the oven and let sit at least 10 minutes.
·
Unmold the Monkey Bread onto
a cake plate.
Slice and
serve.
Yield: Approximately 12 servings
I think next time I will add pecans to enhance the flavor and texture.
Enjoy.
