Ingredients
  • 1 can refrigerator biscuits (I use Pillsbury Grands)
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 3 Tbsp milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces, starting by cutting each biscuit in half and from there, each half into three pieces.
  3. Roll each piece into a ball.
  4. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Roll each piece of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Place sugared dough into the muffin cups; 4 per cup.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Once all ingredients are combined, bring to a boil. As soon as it's boiling, take it off the heat.
  7. *Spoon a little of the sauce over each muffin cup, repeating until you are out of sauce.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
  9. Best when served warm :-)
Recipe Notes

*The sauce usually bubbles up over the biscuits and has been known to drip over the sides of the muffin tin. I usually place the muffin tin on a sheet pan so that the caramel doesn't make a mess in the oven :-)

**They can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days (or in the fridge up to about a week). I suggest popping them in the microwave for a few seconds so that they'll be warm and gooey!
