Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Biscuit Layers
- 1 tube Grand’s Butter Tastin’ Flaky Layers (8 count biscuits)
- ½ cup salted butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon salted butter (softened/melted)
- 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray an 8×8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the tube of biscuits and carefully split each biscuit in half horizontally, making two thinner layers from each one due to their flaky texture.
- Make Cinnamon Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well mixed into a smooth cinnamon butter spread.
- Assemble Biscuit Layers: Spread the cinnamon butter evenly over each biscuit half. Arrange half of the biscuit pieces with cinnamon butter in the bottom of the baking pan, then layer the remaining half on top, creating two layers.
- Bake the Biscuit Layers: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit bake is golden brown and cooked through. You can test by pulling up a biscuit in the center to check that it is no longer doughy. Cover with aluminum foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Add up to an additional tablespoon of heavy cream if the glaze is too thick, until you reach a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the warm biscuit bake. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using flaky layered biscuits is key for the biscuit to split easily and create distinct layers.
- If your biscuits start browning too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through baking to prevent burning.
- The glaze can be adjusted for thickness by adding more or less heavy cream to suit your preference.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture, but leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
