What Kind of Biscuit Dough Should I Use?

You can use any brand of refrigerated biscuit dough you love, but I recommend using flaky-style biscuits for the best texture. Avoid buttermilk biscuits, which tend to be denser. Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers are a reliable option, and they’re easy to separate and cut.

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: The base of our bites! Easy and reliable, it gives a soft interior and a crisp edge when baked.

Unsalted Butter: Melted butter helps the cinnamon sugar stick and adds that rich bakery-style flavor.

Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the exterior and creates the classic crunch in each bite.

Ground Cinnamon: Pairs perfectly with sugar to bring warmth and spice.

Optional Glaze: Powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract if you want a drizzly finish.

How To Make the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Cut the Biscuit Dough

Open your can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces for bite-sized portions.

Step 3: Roll into Balls

Gently roll each dough piece between your hands to form a small ball.

Step 4: Bake

Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While the bites bake, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt the butter in a separate bowl. Once baked, dip each warm biscuit bite in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mix until fully coated.

Step 6 (Optional): Add Glaze

For an extra treat, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and a splash of vanilla extract to create a drizzle. Use a spoon to lightly glaze the tops of each bite.

How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

These biscuit bites are best served warm and fresh out of the oven, but they hold up well at room temperature too. They feed about 6 people, with each person getting 3 to 4 bites. Serve them as a brunch centerpiece, afternoon snack, or even pack them into lunchboxes.

Storing Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Store any leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds or warm them in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to revive their just-baked feel. If glazed, store with parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 325°F and cook the dough balls for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway through. They get extra crispy this way!

Can I freeze them?
These bites are best fresh, but you can freeze the unbaked dough balls and bake directly from frozen. Add a few extra minutes to the bake time.

What if I don’t have cinnamon?
You can swap cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, or even just vanilla sugar for a twist.

Can I use crescent dough instead of biscuits?
Crescent dough can work, but the texture will be lighter and more layered. Stick to biscuits for a true doughnut-style bite.

How do I keep them warm for a party?
Place them in a slow cooker on the “warm” setting and serve straight from there. Line the base with parchment to prevent sticking.
