 Time & Yield

• Preparation Time: 10–15 minutes
• Baking Time: 12–15 minutes
• Total Time: 25–30 minutes
• Yield: 24–30 biscuit bites (depending on size)

 Ingredients

Biscuit Dough

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup cold butter, cubed
• ¾ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

Coating

• ½ cup melted butter
• ½ cup sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
2. Cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually stir in the milk (or buttermilk) until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.

Step 2: Shape the Biscuit Bites

1. Lightly flour your work surface.
2. Scoop or roll the dough into small 1-inch balls. For even baking, try to keep all the bites roughly the same size.
3. Place the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.

Step 3: Bake

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Bake the biscuit bites for 12–15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top.
3. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes while preparing the coating.

Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

1. Pour the melted butter into a small bowl.
2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in another bowl.
3. While the biscuit bites are still warm, dip each one into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated.
4. Roll the buttered biscuit bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

• Serve the biscuit bites warm for the best flavor and texture.
• Pair with coffee, hot chocolate, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a sweet breakfast or dessert treat.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or reheat slightly before serving.

 Helpful Tips

• Use cold butter: Keeps the biscuits flaky and light.
• Buttermilk option: Adds extra tenderness and a slight tang.
• Even bites: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.
• Extra sweetness: Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top after rolling.
• Make ahead: Prepare dough in advance and bake fresh when needed.

 Variations

• Mini pull-apart bites: Arrange biscuit balls touching each other for pull-apart style.
• Glazed version: Drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze after coating.
• Chocolate twist: Dip half in melted chocolate instead of cinnamon sugar.
• Nutty flavor: Roll in finely chopped toasted nuts after buttering.
