What You’ll Need
- Refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. Use one can and cut each biscuit into four pieces so the bites bake evenly.
- Unsalted butter. Melt 1 cup for dipping. Pour any butter left in the bowl over the bites before baking.
- Granulated sugar. Roll each buttered piece in sugar for a sweet coating, then sprinkle any remaining sugar over the top.
How to Arrange and Bake the Bites
Nestle the coated biscuit pieces close together in a single layer. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are deep golden and the glaze is bubbling. Check a piece near the center of the dish to make sure the biscuit has baked through.
How to Serve Flaky Butter Bites
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes so the bubbling glaze can settle. Serve the bites warm, pulling them apart or scooping small clusters onto plates.
