Ingredients

  • 1 can plain refrigerated biscuits
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Cut the biscuits into quarters with scissors.
  2. Mix the sugars and cinnamon in a bowl.
  3. Add the biscuit pieces to the sugar mixture and toss to coat well.
  4. Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan and place the coated biscuits inside.
  5. Pour melted butter over the biscuits.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Tips & Substitutions

For a twist, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the sugar mixture for added texture and flavor. If you don't have cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin spice can be substituted. Ensure the biscuits are cut evenly to ensure they bake uniformly. For a more decadent treat, drizzle with caramel sauce after baking, as this pairs beautifully with the flavors of a Caramel Pecan Pie.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sticky buns warm for the best experience, perhaps drizzled with a simple glaze or topped with whipped cream. They make a delightful breakfast or dessert, and pairing with a cup of coffee or tea enhances their sweetness. For a more substantial meal, consider serving alongside a fresh fruit salad or yogurt, creating a lovely balance with these sweet treats.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, place the sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them, where they will last for about a week. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?

Absolutely! If you prefer homemade, just ensure the dough is similar in consistency to refrigerated biscuits. This will help achieve the right texture when baked. Keep in mind that the baking time may vary slightly, so monitor them closely for doneness.

What can I do if I don't have brown sugar?

If you find yourself without brown sugar, you can easily make a substitute by mixing white sugar with a little molasses or honey. For this recipe, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses to achieve a similar flavor and moisture.

Can I freeze these sticky buns?

Yes, you can freeze sticky buns! After baking and cooling, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep well for about 2-3 months. To reheat, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then warm in the oven.
