Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 small tubes refrigerated Homestyle Biscuits, not the Grands
- 1 3/4 cup sugar, separated
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- gold, purple and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, pecan pieces, and cinnamon. Roll each biscuit piece in sugar mixture and then place in a Bundt pan. You should use most of the sugar mixture up, but it's ok to have some left over. You can sprinkle it on top of the biscuit pieces once you have them all added to the pan.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Heat stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Pour over biscuit pieces.
- Bake 40-45 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes and then invert onto a cake stand or large plate.
- For Icing, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Spread on top of Monkey Bread.
Notes
Instead of using 4 small cans of regular biscuits, you can use 2 16.3-ounce cans of Grands Biscuits.
