Why is it called monkey bread? If someone out there knows, please leave a comment and enlighten me. All I know is that my local supermarket has not had our favorite Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls since before Christmas. During my last food shopping trip, I noticed a recipe for "monkey bread" on the back of the Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits package. The ingredients look similar to cinnamon rolls, so, I figured I would give it a try.
1 can Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits 7.5 ounce (10 in package)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted (I used "I can't believe it's not butter)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1. Grease or spray cake pan.
2. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in 1-gallon plastic bag. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Put quarters in bag and shake to coat. Remove pieces from bag and place in pan. Mix butter/margarine and brown sugar. Pour over biscuit pieces.
3. Bake at 350 degrees farenheit for 18 minutes or until golden brown. I baked mine in a convection oven, you may have to adjust the baking time slightly if you have a regular oven. Cool 5 minutes. Turn upside down.
Serve warm and watch them smile!
