Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• This is my favorite option when I want quick and easy treats to make, using a smart shortcut that always works.
• A can of dough turns into soft biscuit bites that feel like donut donuts and fluffy holes, with a taste that’s a cozy hybrid of classic churros.
• Brushed with melted butter and finished with a generous dusting of cinnamon and sugar, the flavors combine beautifully.
• With just ingredients 4, ready in less than 20 minutes, the process stays simple yet completely irresistible, which is why I keep coming back to this recipe.

Equipment I Rely On

• I always start in my kitchen by setting up my Kitchen space neatly so the process feels relaxed and controlled.
• For prep, I use mixing bowls or a Glass Bowl, and sometimes a Scale for accuracy, though it’s totally optional in my experience.
• I move to a cutting board with a sharp knife to portion the dough evenly, which helps a lot with uniform results.
• For baking, I prefer a silicone mat or baking sheet, placed inside an 8×8 Dish, because years of Baking have taught me that the right sheet makes these biscuit bites bake evenly and coat better.

Ingredients Made Simple

• I use store-bought biscuits because they are convenient and a reliable base, especially when they are refrigerated, canned, and packed in a tube of standard size, not grands, so you can control the count easily.
• I usually choose 20 ounces (567 grams) or 16 oz, which gives about 8 pieces, and cut each biscuit into bite-sized pieces that resemble a churro or churros, a classic treat made from fried dough rolled in cinnamon and sugar.
• To avoid the mess of frying at home, I do dunking by placing the pieces into melted salted butter using 1 stick (113 grams), which always gives better flavor in my experience.
• For finishing, I make a coating with 1 cup (200 grams) of granulated sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons (4 tbsp or 1 tablespoon) of ground cinnamon (18 grams).
• The result is a delicious snack with less steps and more convenience, and every time I try it, I’m wondering why I didn’t make it sooner, sometimes adjusting sweetness by ½ or 1/2 to suit my taste.

Instructions (Controlled Oven Method)

Prep the Oven

• Get everything going neatly: preheat the oven to 350°F.
• line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or a silicone mat.
• I always prepare early to keep the process smooth.
• Set the rack in the middle position and follow an assembly line method, working one by one.

Prepare the Biscuits

• Take refrigerated, canned biscuits (20 ounces) and separate them.
• Use kitchen shears to cut each biscuit into equal pieces like quarters or thirds.
• Set each piece apart so they don’t stick together.
• Place on a prepared pan or plate, keeping about inch space for even baking.

Make the Coating

• In a shallow glass bowl, melt salted butter until fully melted; I use the microwave on reduced power to prevent splattering.
• In another small mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
• Stir and mix everything together.
• Dip each biscuit bite directly into butter, then roll to coat completely.

Bake and Finish

• Transfer the coated bites to the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden brown in color.
• If needed, turn on the broiler and watch closely so sugar doesn’t burn quickly and becomes caramelized.
• Remove, allow to cool to the touch for about 5 minutes, rest on a cooling rack for 30 seconds, drizzle icing over all, and serve immediately.

Pro Tips from My Kitchen

Cooking Method & Timing

• I prepare cinnamon sugar biscuit bites in the air fryer for air frying, which will cook slightly faster than the oven.
• I place the dough pieces, keep an eye on them, and cook about 6-9 or 7-9 minutes at 350°F, until fully cooked.
• The results should be crispy and chewy, not gooey or doughy, with a pale color that shouldn’t look wet, soft, or not done yet.
• I adjust the time as needed to get it just right.

Biscuit Choice & Coating

• In this recipe, everything stays the same, but the correct size and variety are important.
• I use Pillsbury southern homestyle refrigerated biscuits, 8 per can, though rolls are an option instead.
• I cover each bite with melted butter, then rolling them in cinnamon sugar so the coating can stick.
• A dipping sauce is optionally made by combining, mixing powdered sugar, milk, 1-2 tbsp, and 2 cups until smooth, to resemble a roll glaze.

Storage & Reheating

• These bites are best enjoyed warm.
• For leftovers, I protect freshness and flavor by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 1 week.
• For longer months, I wrap a handful in aluminum foil, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze.
• Before eating, I thaw and reheat using the air fryer, oven, microwave, or broiler for 3-5 minutes; this re-heating or reheating step helps ensure every bite tastes right.
