Monkey Bread

Thursday, April 28, 2011


On Easter morning I made an old favorite monkey bread. Brendan had never had it before so I know I had to call up my Mom and get the recipe from a family friend. 

-3/8 cups of butter
-1/2 cup of brown sugar
-2 1/2 tsp of sugar
-2 1/2 tsp of cinnamon 
-1 package of 16 oz refrigerated biscuits 
-Half a cup of pecans 

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Once butter is 100% melted add brown sugar. Let simmer and mix until contents becomes smooth. Remove from heat and let sit. Place pecans in a small freezer bag and smash until thinly crushed. Mix cinnamon, pecans and sugar in a gallon size freezer bag and shake until contents are mixed well. Rip biscuits into fourths and put pieces in the freezer bag. Again shake the bag until the biscuits are covered. Spray a bunt pan with non-stick spray. Place a layer of biscuits on the bottom of bunt pan, then sprinkle the  layer with the mixture from the sauce pan, continue this process until there is are no more biscuits or sauce. After the oven has pre-heated to 350 place bunt pan in oven for 13-15 minutes covered with foil. Let sit for a few minutes and serve.
