Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease a bundt pan.
- Spread orange marmalade around the pan, using more if desired.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the marmalade.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Separate the biscuits and dip each in melted butter, then in the sugar mixture.
- Stand the biscuits on edge in the prepared pan, spacing them evenly.
- Sprinkle remaining sugar and melted butter over the biscuits.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using lemon marmalade instead of orange for a zesty flavor. If you don't have flaky biscuits, crescent roll dough can be a great substitute. Ensure the butter is melted and slightly cooled before dipping the biscuits to avoid sogginess. Sprinkling a bit of sea salt can enhance the caramel flavor. Serve warm for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
This Caramel Orange Biscuit Ring is delightful on its own, but pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It can also be served as a brunch centerpiece alongside fresh fruit or yogurt. For a beverage pairing, consider serving with a cup of coffee or tea.
