1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
PREHEAT THE OVEN
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
PREPARE THE BISCUITS
Open the can of small canned biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters and set aside.
MAKE THE CINNAMON SUGAR
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
COAT THE BISCUIT PIECES
Place the melted butter in a separate bowl. Dip each biscuit quarter into the butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
ARRANGE AND BAKE
Place the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
PREPARE THE GLAZE
While the biscuit bites are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
FINISH AND SERVE
Remove the biscuit bites from the oven and drizzle the glaze over them while still warm. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
