Sweet and sticky honey bun ring features overlapping biscuits coated with honey and butter, creating a warm, indulgent treat perfect for breakfast or dessert gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter and the honey into the bottom of a greased 5-cup ring mold.
- Place biscuits around the ring, overlapping slightly.
- Pour remaining melted butter over the biscuits.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Turn onto a plate and serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the honey mixture. If you don’t have a ring mold, a bundt pan can be a great substitute. For a lighter version, you can use coconut oil instead of butter. Ensure the biscuits are fresh for the best texture; frozen biscuits can work if thawed properly. This dish is delightful alongside a cup of coffee or paired with Grandma Addie'S Tomato Soup Cake for a comforting meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the honey bun ring warm, drizzled with additional honey for extra sweetness. It's perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. Enjoy it alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place the honey bun ring in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps retain the softness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of honey?
Yes, you can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that it may slightly alter the taste and texture. Using a liquid sweetener can maintain the moistness of the dish, similar to how honey would.
What kind of biscuits should I use for this recipe?
You can use refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade biscuits. Flaky buttermilk biscuits work best for a soft texture. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider using whole wheat biscuit dough. Avoid using sweet biscuits, as they may make the dish overly sweet.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make a vegan version, substitute the melted butter with a plant-based butter or coconut oil, and replace honey with maple syrup or agave. Ensure the biscuits are also vegan-friendly. This way, you can still enjoy a delicious and comforting honey bun ring without animal products.
