Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

To create the perfect Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites, it’s all about having the right setup:

• Baking Sheet or Air Fryer: Either option works well. A baking sheet gives you an evenly browned crust, while an air fryer offers crispiness in less time.
• Mixing Bowls: You’ll need one for melted butter and another for the cinnamon sugar blend.
• Pastry Brush (Optional): Great for brushing melted butter evenly over the bites.
• Kitchen Tongs: Useful for dipping and flipping each bite into the sugar mixture without getting too messy.

Each tool plays a small but crucial role in making the process smooth and keeping cleanup minimal. The fewer the dishes, the better the treat, right?

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

• Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: This is the shortcut hero of the recipe. It bakes into golden, fluffy bites without the hassle of making dough from scratch.
• Melted Butter: Acts as the glue for the cinnamon sugar to stick and adds that rich, indulgent flavor.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the exterior and gives it that iconic sugar crunch.
• Ground Cinnamon: The spice that makes everything warm and cozy. It’s the star flavor here.

Each ingredient serves a simple but essential purpose—together, they transform into magic.

How To Make the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (or set your air fryer to 330°F). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper if you’re using the oven.

Step 2: Cut the Dough

Open your can of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. These smaller pieces are what give the bites their snackable charm.

Step 3: Melt the Butter

In a small bowl, melt the butter until fully liquid. Set aside—you’ll be dipping into this shortly.

Step 4: Make the Cinnamon Sugar

In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 5: Dip, Coat, and Arrange

Using tongs or your hands, dip each dough piece into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place them spaced apart on your baking sheet or into your air fryer basket.

Step 6: Bake or Air Fry

• Oven: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
• Air Fryer: Cook at 330°F for 8–10 minutes until lightly crisped and golden.

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving—if you can wait that long!

Serving and Storing Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

These bites are best served warm, fresh from the oven or air fryer. Their cinnamon coating and tender texture are at their peak within the first hour. Serve them stacked on a platter with a drizzle of honey or a side of cream cheese glaze for dipping if you’re feeling indulgent.

To store leftovers (if there are any), place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for 2–3 minutes to bring back that warm crispiness. Avoid microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the bites from sticking to the baking sheet?

Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If you’re using an air fryer, give the basket a light spritz of cooking spray to avoid sticking.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prep the dough pieces in advance, but wait to coat in butter and cinnamon sugar until just before baking to keep them from getting soggy.

Do I need to flip them in the air fryer?

Not necessarily. If your air fryer circulates heat evenly, they’ll brown on all sides. For extra evenness, a quick flip halfway through helps.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite biscuit recipe, feel free to use it. Just make sure the dough is firm enough to hold shape when cut.

What else can I dip these in?

They pair beautifully with a vanilla glaze, cream cheese dip, or even a chocolate sauce for a dessert twist.
