Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350F.

    Separate the biscuit dough rounds and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the pieces in a large zip-top bag, add the granulated sugar and cinnamon, seal, and shake until evenly coated, working in batches if needed.

    Lightly grease a 10-inch bundt pan and add the coated biscuit pieces.

    In a small saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to boil and the butter is completely melted. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces in the pan.

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown.

    Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Set a large serving plate on top of the pan and carefully flip to invert the bread onto the plate. Remove the pan and let cool a few more minutes before serving warm.
