How to Make Them
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
Mini muffin tins work best because they create perfect bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Mix the Cinnamon Sugar
Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Set aside.
Step 3: Cut the Biscuits
Open the biscuit dough and separate each biscuit.
Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces.
Step 4: Dip in Butter
Place the melted butter into a bowl.
Toss the biscuit pieces until coated.
Step 5: Coat With Cinnamon Sugar
Transfer the buttered dough into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Roll until evenly coated.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
Place one coated dough piece into each muffin cup.
Do not press them down.
Simply let them rest naturally.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
The tops should become golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 8: Cool Slightly
Allow the bites to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Step 9: Add the Glaze
Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze if desired.
Serve warm.
Watch them disappear.
