Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll the biscuits in melted butter, then in brown sugar.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the coated biscuits.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and consider adding a pinch of salt to the brown sugar. If you want to experiment, try using honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness profile. You can also add chopped nuts or raisins to the mixture for added texture. If you prefer a healthier twist, look for whole-grain biscuits in the store.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cinnamon biscuits warm, drizzled with a bit more melted butter or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They make a delightful breakfast treat or afternoon snack, especially alongside a cup of coffee or tea. For an indulgent dessert, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or serve alongside Hot Cheese Yummies for a fun twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet and then transfer to a freezer bag, where they can last up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuits in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just roll them in butter and sugar, then cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Bake them fresh when you're ready to serve for the best texture.
What if I don't have brown sugar?
If you don't have brown sugar, you can easily substitute it with white sugar mixed with a tablespoon of molasses or honey for a similar flavor. Alternatively, granulated sugar can be used, but the biscuits will lack the rich, caramel notes that brown sugar provides.
Are there any variations I can try?
Absolutely! You can add different spices such as nutmeg or ginger for a unique flavor profile. For a chocolate twist, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the coated biscuits before baking. You could also try using flavored extracts like vanilla or almond for an extra layer of taste.
