monkey bread

From a family friend, Marcine Smith, recipe from circa 1990

Ingredients

For cake -

4 cans refrigerator bisquits, country or buttermilk style

1/2 c. sugar

1/3 c. brown sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

For sauce –

1 1/2 sticks margarine

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

Baking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For the cake – Combine the sugars and the cinnamon in a plastic bag.  Break or cut the bisquits into quarters and add 10-12 pieces at a time to the bag and shake to coat.  Drop into a greased tube or bundt pan. 

For the sauce – Melt butter and sugars in a small saucepan.  Cook until thick.  Pour over bisquits and bake for 30 minutes.  Invert onto a plate while warm.

Our thoughts

Very rich dessert; but, fun for kids to help make (and eat!)

Can add nuts and/or raisins to the sauce.
