Step-by-step instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take each biscuit and cut it into quarters.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, ensuring it’s well-coated, and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading them out for even baking.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and fragrant.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, consider drizzling with a vanilla glaze or cream cheese icing.
Best ways to enjoy it
When serving Southern Potluck Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites, consider creating a beautiful dessert platter. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. If you’re looking to add some flair, try sprinkling a little extra cinnamon sugar on top right before serving, or offer a selection of dips like chocolate or cream cheese icing for guests to enjoy.
How to store
Storing your Biscuit Bites is a breeze! Place any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature, and they should stay fresh for about 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but it’s best to reheat them in the oven to keep their texture. If you want to freeze them, wrap each bite individually and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Just make sure to safely thaw them in the refrigerator when you’re ready to enjoy again.
Helpful cooking tips
- For an added depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract to the melted butter before dipping the biscuits.
- Don’t have nutmeg? A bit of allspice or cardamom can work in a pinch if you want a unique twist.
- To save time, prep your cinnamon-sugar mixture in advance and store it in a jar for easy access.
Creative twists
While the classic cinnamon-sugar version is heavenly, feel free to experiment! You could add chocolate chips to the dough before rolling them in the cinnamon mixture for an indulgent treat. Or swap out the cinnamon for pumpkin spice during the fall for a seasonal twist. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a drizzle of caramel sauce on top after baking for an extra indulgent option.
