Homemade Cinnamelt Biscuits
Ingredients:
For the biscuits:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands!®)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Optional: additional cinnamon and brown sugar to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
- Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into the brown sugar cinnamon mixture until coated evenly.
- Place the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared baking dish.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the biscuit pieces in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Optional: For a more authentic Cinnamelts flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar to the icing and mix well.
- Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits. Serve and enjoy your homemade Cinnamelts-inspired biscuits!
Feel free to adjust the amounts of cinnamon, brown sugar, and icing ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your nostalgic treat!
Here are some tips to make your Homemade Cinnamelt Biscuits even more delicious:
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: While you can use any brand of refrigerated biscuits, opting for higher-quality ones can enhance the flavor and texture of your biscuits.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the amount of brown sugar used in both the biscuit coating and the icing. If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the amount of brown sugar. Conversely, if you prefer a less sweet option, you can reduce the amount of sugar.
- Experiment with Spices: While cinnamon is the key spice in this recipe, don’t be afraid to experiment with other warm spices like nutmeg or cloves to add depth to the flavor profile.
- Ensure Even Coating: When rolling the biscuit pieces in the brown sugar cinnamon mixture, make sure each piece is evenly coated to ensure consistent flavor throughout.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the biscuits while they are baking to prevent them from overcooking. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so start checking for doneness around the 10-minute mark.
- Freshly Drizzle Icing: For the best flavor and texture, drizzle the icing over the biscuits while they are still warm. This allows the icing to slightly melt and soak into the biscuits, enhancing their sweetness and moisture.
- Customize the Icing: Feel free to customize the icing to your liking by adjusting the amount of vanilla extract or adding additional flavors like almond extract or maple syrup.
- Serve Warm: Homemade Cinnamelt Biscuits are best served warm, straight out of the oven. This ensures that the biscuits are at their fluffiest and the icing is at its most deliciously gooey state.
- Store Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm again.
- Share and Enjoy: Homemade Cinnamelt Biscuits are perfect for sharing with family and friends. Enjoy them as a special breakfast treat, a comforting snack, or a delightful dessert
