Monkey Bread

Monkey Bread

Like caramel cake, you see this one at special occasions mostly because of the butter and sugar content…it’s so rich that it’s not something you make for a weekday breakfast or a snack for just a few. You need lots of people picking a few bite-sized pieces to make this one worthwhile. UNLESS you use small loaf pans, like I do in the video, to divide one recipe into several portions.

Ingredients
24 ounces buttermilk biscuits (three 8-ounce packages)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon (I added a healthy pinch of cardamom, too)
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
½ cup brown sugar (packed)

Recipe summary: cut biscuits into quarters or even eighths. Toss in sugar/cinnamon mixture and arrange in pan. Melt butter, brown sugar, and half a cup of remaining white sugar mixture and pour over stacked biscuits. Bake at 350F/180C for 30 minutes or until internal temp reads 190F/88C. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before flipping or plating.
