Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans 16.3 oz each refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9 or 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the white sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Open the cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters (you can use kitchen scissors or a knife).
  4. Roll each biscuit piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then arrange them in the prepared pan. If using nuts, sprinkle some between layers as you go.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1-2 minutes. If using vanilla, stir it in now.
  6. Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the bread is no longer doughy in the center.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
