Monkey Bread

Its been one of those weeks, where everything is incredibly busy. So to decompress this week I went to target and bought a monkey bread making kit. For those of you who don't know what monkey bread, its a delicious cinnamon-y sugar-y doughy mix. There are really simple recipes to make monkey bread, but if you buy the Nortic Ware kit you actually end up making the dough yourself (in most recipes you would usually just use pre-made biscuit dough). Instead of giving you the directions from the kit, I'll give you the simple directions.

Ingredients:

4 cans refrigerator biscuits (about 40)

1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon

1/2 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

Cut up each individual biscuit and roll into a 1-2 inch balls. Put them into a ziplock bag a few at a time with the cinnamon and the white sugar already in it and shake. When the pieces you put in are covered with the cinnamon and sugar mixture add more dough until there is none left. Place the pieces into a buttered bunt pan (I used cupcake tins and it made about fifteen large individual monkey breads.)

Melt the butter and the brown sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Let the mixture cool for about ten minutes and then pour over the dough in the pan.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. If you used the bunt pan allow it to cool fifteen minutes when you take it out of the oven before you flip it over and serve it.
