King Cake Bites
Ingredients
- 1 16.3 ounce can refrigerated jumbo biscuits
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons each purple green and gold sanding sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a small ball.
- Toss each ball in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
- Arrange the balls close together on the pan so they touch and bake into clusters.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool on the pan 10 minutes; the bites are fragile straight out of the oven.
- Whisk powdered sugar with milk to a thin, pourable glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites and let it soak in slightly.
- Scatter purple, green and gold sugar over the glaze while it is still wet, then serve on a platter with toothpicks.
Good to Know
Freeze the unbaked, sugared dough balls on a tray, then bag them; bake straight from frozen, adding 3 to 4 extra minutes.
