monkey bread

monkey bread is one of my all time favorite breakfast/dessert & SO easy to make.

INGREDIENTS

1/2

cup granulated sugar

1

teaspoon cinnamon

2

cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits

1/2

cup chopped walnuts, if desired

1/2

cup raisins, if desired

1

cup firmly packed brown sugar

3/4

cup butter or margarine, melted

[my assistant, emmy.]

first heat the oven to 350. grease a flute pan with cooking spray.

separate all the dough. cut one biscuit into 8 pieces (shape does not matter). 

in a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. put each piece of the cut up biscuit in the bowl and fully coat it with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

arrange in pan. when all of the biscuits are in the pan you need to make the mixture to pour over. in another bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar (melted). pour all over the biscuit pieces. let it bake for 30 minutes. ta da. the most deliciousness everrrrr
