Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan or tube pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a bowl, mix the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon. Toss the dough pieces in the cinnamon sugar until coated.
Step 3
Melt the 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup brown sugar until dissolved, about 2 minutes, until smooth and bubbly.
Step 4
Place the coated dough pieces in the prepared pan, layering them evenly. Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture over the dough, making sure to coat as much as possible.
Step 5
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and the bread feels set when lightly pressed. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate.
Step 6
Whisk the 1 cup powdered sugar with the 2 tbsp milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread before serving.
