Monkey Bread

For Scarlet

1 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3 (12 ounce) cans of refrigerated biscuits

1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 or 10 inch tube or Bundt pan.

Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 pieces in sugar cinnamon mixture. Arrange pieces in the prepared pan. Continue until all the biscuit pieces are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts, arrange them among the biscuit pieces as you go along.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes and turn out onto plate. Make 15 servings.

Monkey bread will come out of the pan shaped like this. Use a fork, or you fingers to pull the pieces apart but you probably want to wait until it’s cooled some.

Tips:

*Make more by using 4 cans of biscuits.

*If you don’t have brown sugar, Melt the butter with leftover cinnamon sugar mix and boil for one minute before pouring over biscuits.

*If you do not have a tube or Bundt pan. Make in a round cake pan. Lower temperature to 325 degrees. Check after 35 minutes. Push done on the biscuits in the middle slightly. If it springs back, they are cooked all the way through.

Monkey bread all pulled apart. Now you just need a glass of milk or water to go with it.
