Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup sugar and cinnamon to taste in a shallow dish.
- Melt 1 stick of butter.
- Roll each biscuit in melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place coated biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you don’t have biscuits, crescent roll dough can be a great substitute. Ensure the butter is fully melted but not bubbling to prevent sogginess in the coating. For a fun twist, try adding finely chopped nuts or chocolate chips inside the biscuit before rolling.
Serving Suggestions
Cinnamon Rings are best served warm, dusted with additional powdered sugar for extra sweetness. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making them a delightful afternoon treat. For a more decadent dessert, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside the Black Forest Parfait for a perfect balance of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Cinnamon Rings in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until they are warm and slightly crisp again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar for this recipe?
Yes, you can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper, caramel-like flavor. Additionally, coconut sugar works well if you're looking for a healthier alternative. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary slightly depending on the sugar used.
What can I do if I don't have biscuits on hand?
If you don't have biscuits, you can use ready-made puff pastry or crescent roll dough as a substitute. Simply cut them into similar-sized pieces, and follow the same coating and baking instructions for delicious results.
How do I make these Cinnamon Rings more festive?
To make your Cinnamon Rings more festive, you can add a drizzle of icing made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet touch. Consider incorporating seasonal spices like nutmeg or allspice to enhance the holiday flavors, or serve them alongside the Pumpkin Pie (Makes 2 Pies) for a delightful dessert spread.
