Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts in a greased 4 1/2 cup ring mold or 9-inch square baking pan.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into 10 biscuits.
- Dip biscuits in melted butter, then in the sugar mixture.
- Place biscuits in the baking pan, overlapping each other.
- Tuck raisins in between each biscuit (optional).
- Add remaining sugar mixture and melted butter on top.
- Bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. If you're out of brown sugar, you can substitute with an equal amount of granulated sugar mixed with a little molasses to achieve a similar taste. For a nut-free version, simply omit the peanuts or replace them with seeds like sunflower seeds.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Yum-Yum Dough warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious dessert. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced snack. For a drink pairing, a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee complements this sweet treat perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the Yum-Yum Dough in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. This helps retain the dough's texture and flavor, making it almost as delightful as when freshly baked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just make sure to thaw them according to the package instructions before dipping them in butter and the sugar mixture. This ensures they bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
Is there a way to make this dish healthier?
Absolutely! You can use whole wheat biscuits for added fiber, and substitute part of the butter with applesauce to reduce fat. Additionally, consider using less sugar in the mixture or swapping in a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
Can I add other ingredients to the Yum-Yum Dough?
Yes, feel free to customize your Yum-Yum Dough! You can add chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even spices like ginger for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that adding too many ingredients may affect the baking time, so keep an eye on it in the oven.
