Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a dash of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture. If you want to make these a bit healthier, you can substitute half of the butter with applesauce. Ensure your biscuits are fully coated in butter before dipping in sugar for the best flavor. For an alternative, try using homemade dough from your Favorite Refrigerator Dinner Rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough can enhance the flavor and texture of your twisters. Just ensure that the dough is rolled out to a similar thickness as refrigerated biscuits to maintain the right cooking time.
What can I do with leftover cinnamon sugar mixture?
You can use leftover cinnamon sugar for various purposes! Sprinkle it on toast, pancakes, or oatmeal for added sweetness. It also works wonderfully in recipes like Astounding Peach Pie or even as a topping for baked goods.
Can I make these in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuits and coat them in cinnamon sugar ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator and bake them fresh when you're ready to serve. This ensures they are warm and crispy, perfect for any gathering!
