Monkey Bread

Hmm....I really do not remember the first time I tasted this delicious monkey bread for breakfast.  It was a long time ago for me to remember.  Thanks to my mom's dearest friend for sharing this recipe, I am now sharing this with you. This recipe is perfect for a big family breakfast. It is also quick and easy to make. Beware! The kids will go crazy for it and will eat the whole thing! It also is GREAT to have kids to help make monkey bread.

Recipe         serves: around 8 to 10 

4 cans of biscuits
3/4 c. melted butter
3 Tbsp. water (optional for thinner syrup)
1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. sugar and 3 Tbsp cinnamon in a gallon bag

nuts are optional

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Place in plastic bag with the sugar/cinnamon mixture and shake until coated.  Place half of the coated biscuits (2 cans) into the greased bundt pan.  Boil the butter, water, and sugar. Pour half of the syrup over the biscuits.  Place the rest of the coated biscuit on top of the syrup. Then pour the rest of the syrup over the second half of the biscuits.  If you want, you can sprinkle the remainder sugar/cinnamon mixture from the bag to the top of the biscuits.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from pan immediately to a serving dish. Serve hot!

This is a very sweet breakfast so be wary on how much sugar you consume.  This is a perfect way to serve some carbs with sweetness to it. It didn't take too much of the ingredient to make this fantastic monkey bread.  The biscuits can be found at Aldi's for LESS than a buck each.  I preferred not to add water because I do not want a bit running syrup.  You can add nuts to it. I preferred not on mine. Enjoy this recipe!!
