Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Heat brown sugar, butter, and milk in a cake pan until boiling.

- Place the pan in the oven and bake until the biscuits are done, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and flip the pan onto a plate to serve while hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the caramel mixture or a splash of vanilla extract. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be delicious substitutes. To ensure even cooking, spread the biscuits out in a single layer, allowing them to absorb the caramel without becoming soggy. This recipe is an excellent way to use up leftover biscuits from your breakfast or brunch, similar to how you might use in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these caramel biscuits warm for the best experience, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. They also pair well with a cup of coffee or tea, making them a delightful afternoon treat. For a unique twist, try serving with a side of Creamy Lettuce Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the biscuits back in a warm oven, covered with foil, for about 5-10 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, a quick microwave reheating can work, but be cautious not to overdo it, as it may make the biscuits tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use alternative sweeteners instead of brown sugar?
Yes, you can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or maple syrup, though the texture and flavor may vary slightly. If using liquid sweeteners, reduce the amount of milk to maintain the right consistency in the caramel.
What type of biscuits work best for this recipe?
Flaky biscuits, like buttermilk or homemade ones, work excellently for this recipe, absorbing the caramel without losing their structure. You can also use store-bought biscuits, but ensure they are fresh for the best results.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown and cooked through. You can test by inserting a toothpick into the center of a biscuit; it should come out clean. Keep an eye on them as ovens can vary in temperature.
