🧁 Introduction
If there were ever a treat that perfectly balances nostalgia, affordability, and pure indulgence, it would be these Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites. They taste like something your grandma would sneak you before dinner—and you’d happily ruin your appetite for them. Warm, fluffy, buttery, and coated in sparkling cinnamon sugar… they’re the lovechild of a doughnut hole and a churro, but cheaper and faster than both!

📝 Ingredients
For the Biscuit Bites:
- 1 small roll of canned biscuits (6–8 biscuits, any brand)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional but recommended)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ¼ cup sugar (half white, half brown for depth)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
🔧 Methods & Instructions
1. Prep the Coating
- In a bowl, mix white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined. Set aside.
2. Cut & Shape
- Open the biscuit can and cut each biscuit into 4 small pieces.
- Roll each into a mini ball with your hands.
3. Choose Your Cooking Method
A) Air Fryer (Crispy Outside, Soft Inside – My Favorite!)
- Brush or spray biscuit balls lightly with oil or melted butter.
- Air fry at 180°C / 350°F for 5–7 minutes, shaking halfway.
B) Oven (Classic & Easy)
- Line a tray with parchment.
- Bake at 190°C / 375°F for 8–10 minutes until golden.
C) Frying Pan (Most Indulgent!)
- Heat 1–2 cm of oil in a pan.
- Fry in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden.
4. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar While Warm
- While still hot, brush with melted butter (optional but heavenly).
- Toss generously in the cinnamon sugar mix until fully coated.
