Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?

Absolutely! Homemade dough gives these cinnamon sugar biscuit bites a more rustic flavor and slightly chewier texture. If you’re using homemade dough, keep it chilled before baking to maintain those flaky layers. My flaky butter biscuits recipe is perfect for this.

How do I keep the bites crispy on the outside and soft inside?

The secret is in the baking time and cooling method. Bake just until golden, then move them to a wire rack immediately. This prevents steam from softening the crust while locking in moisture inside. Avoid covering them while warm.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Yes! You can shape and coat the bites, then refrigerate them (uncooked) for up to a day. When you’re ready to bake, just bring them to room temperature and follow the same steps. They’ll taste freshly made every time.

What dipping sauces go well with them?

You can’t go wrong with warm caramel sauce, vanilla glaze, or cream cheese frosting. For breakfast, try maple syrup or honey butter. For dessert, rich chocolate ganache adds indulgence without overpowering the cinnamon flavor.
