Ingredients
For the Biscuit Bites:
- 1 small can refrigerated biscuit dough
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1–2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Simple Glaze:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 teaspoons milk
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven and Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 3 or 4 bite-sized pieces, depending on how large you want them.
2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well until the sugars and spice are evenly blended. This mixture is what gives the biscuit bites their signature sweet, slightly caramelized flavor.
3. Butter and Coat
Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, making sure it’s lightly coated but not dripping. Then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely covered. This step creates that classic sweet crust once baked.
4. Bake Until Golden
Arrange the coated biscuit pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them so they can puff up. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden brown, soft inside, and lightly crisp on the outside.
5. Prepare the Glaze
While the biscuit bites are baking, whisk the powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon of milk in a small bowl. Add more milk a few drops at a time until you reach a smooth, pourable glaze that’s perfect for drizzling.
6. Finish and Serve
Remove the biscuit bites from the oven and let them cool for about 2–3 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm bites. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Storage Tips
These biscuit bites are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer to bring back their softness.
