Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan or tube pan with butter or nonstick spray.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
