Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
In another shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
Step 2 – Cut the Biscuits
Cut each biscuit into 3 equal pieces using kitchen shears or a knife.
Separate the pieces so they don’t stick together.
Step 3 – Coat
Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter.
Roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.
Arrange the coated pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4 – Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are deep golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked.
Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5 – Make the Icing
In a small bowl whisk together:
- Powdered sugar
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and pourable.
Step 6 – Finish
Drizzle the vanilla icing generously over the warm biscuit bites.
