4. Monkey Bread
4 can refridgerated biscuits
*not jumbos, just regular and the cheapo
brands work just fine*
1 cup Sugar
2-4 Teaspoons of Cinnamon
*depending on your taste for cinnamon*
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 stick of Margerine
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a plastic ziplock
baggy.
Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, slightly
roll into ball shape.
drop a few pieces of dough, at a time, into
the sugar/cinnamom mix
and shake till coated. Drop the pieces into
a well greased tube/bundt pan.
When you have about half the biscuits in the
pan,
boil the Brown Sugar and Margerine for about
one minute, making a syrup. Drizzle half the
syrup over the bisquits in the pan. Finish
filling the pan and drizzle remaining syrup
over biscuits
Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes. Let cool
for 10 minutes.
Turn pan over onto a plate. Let it set with
pan over bread while
the syrup drizzles back over the biscuits.
Do not slice it... break chunks off and eat!
