No More Monkeys

Growing up, in the Miller household, Sundays were dessert days. I have since carried that tradition - whether it's cookies, cupcakes or a handful of Cadbury Mini Eggs, I am a firm believer that Sunday evenings should be filled with sugar. Tonight, I made Monkey Bread...because really, what could be better than biscuits, butter, sugar and cinnamon?

Very few things.

There are many wonderful variations of this recipe, but this is the one I usually follow:

Monkey Bread
1/2 C. chopped pecans (optional)
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1-2 tsp. cinnamon
3, 10 oz. cans buttermilk biscuits
1 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. melted butter

Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees. Put pecans in the bottom of bundt pan. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Cut each individual biscuit into fourths and roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Layer pieces in bundt pan. Combine brown sugar and melted butter and drizzle over the top of biscuit pieces. Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a plate and serve.
