Why You’ll Love These Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

These biscuit bites are quick, unfussy, and dangerously delicious. They only need a handful of ingredients, yet bring so much joy. Perfect for last-minute desserts, lazy mornings, or even a sweet finger food for parties, they adapt to the moment with minimal effort. You can fry them for extra crispness or bake them for a lighter touch. Either way, they get devoured in minutes.

Can I Use Any Kind of Biscuit Dough?

Yes! While traditional Southern-style canned biscuit dough works best due to its soft, fluffy texture, you can experiment with buttermilk or flaky layers too. Just avoid anything too savory or seasoned. Homemade biscuit dough also works if you have a favorite recipe, but the store-bought version keeps this treat lightning fast and beginner-friendly.

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

To make the perfect Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites, you don’t need a lot—just the right combo of pantry staples that come together magically.

• Biscuit Dough: The base of your bites. Use refrigerated canned biscuit dough for convenience and soft texture.
• Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps build that classic cinnamon sugar coating.
• Cinnamon: The hero spice that gives these bites their signature warmth and coziness.
• Butter: Melted butter helps the sugar mixture stick and adds rich flavor.
• Oil for Frying (optional): If you prefer a crispy exterior, a neutral oil like vegetable or canola is best for frying.

How To Make the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Step 1: Prep the Dough

Open your biscuit can and separate the dough. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Heat the Oil or Preheat the Oven

If frying, heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot. If baking, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: Cook the Bites

Fry the biscuit pieces in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. If baking, place pieces on the tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.

Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While still warm, brush each piece with melted butter. In a bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar. Toss each biscuit bite in the mixture until well-coated.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, offer a cream cheese or vanilla glaze for dipping.

How to Serve and Store These Biscuit Bites

These Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are best served fresh while they’re warm and the coating is slightly crisp. They make a lovely addition to brunch spreads, dessert trays, or movie night snacks. This recipe feeds about 4 to 6 people, depending on how generous you’re feeling.

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to bring back their texture. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make them soggy.
