Description
A quick, kid-approved snack made with refrigerated dough, coated in butter and cinnamon sugar, and baked until golden. Ready in just 20 minutes with zero kneading required.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons (57g) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough by separating canned biscuits or flattening pizza dough, then cut into halves, quarters, or eighths for bite-sized pieces.
- In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt; stir to distribute evenly.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl (microwave for 30-45 seconds) and stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Dip each piece of dough into the melted butter, letting excess drip off, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat completely.
- Place coated dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the sugar coating to set before serving warm.
Notes
Use fresh cinnamon for best flavor. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispy exteriors. If using salted butter, reduce the salt in the sugar mix. These are best eaten fresh but can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days. To refresh, bake at 350°F for 3 minutes.
