Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package (1.5 lbs) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
- Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This will create bite-sized pieces that will be easy to pull apart after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered biscuit pieces with the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the prepared brown butter. Toss gently until the biscuit pieces are well coated with the mixture.
- Layer the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared loaf pan, stacking them as you go. Pour the remaining brown butter over the top of the layered biscuit pieces, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the dough in the loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the bread onto a serving platter or wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, pulling apart the pieces of bread to enjoy the delicious brown butter cinnamon sugar goodness!
Tips
- Brown Butter Perfection: Watch your butter carefully when browning. The line between perfectly nutty and burnt is thin. Remove from heat as soon as it turns golden brown with a rich, nutty aroma.
- Even Coating is Key: When tossing biscuit pieces with brown sugar and butter, ensure each piece is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Prevent Over-Browning: If the top of your bread is browning too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil to prevent burning while allowing the inside to cook completely.
- Serve Warm: This bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the layers are still warm and pull apart easily. Serve immediately for the ultimate sensory experience.
- Storage Tip: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store in an airtight container and warm slightly before serving to restore that fresh-baked texture.
