DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube pan.
Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart

Answer 2

The easiest way to make it is to use premade biscuit dough (about 2 dozen biscuits for a large pan). In my family, we take cream cheese cut up into very small chunks and wrap each in a piece of the biscuit dough. This gets rolled in cinnamon sugar. Place the balls in a greased cake pan piled up on each other.

In a sauce pan, heat sugar with a little water and some butter until everything is melted. If you want, you can add fruit or nuts here (apples, raisins, and walnuts are my favorite). Cook this until it is a medium caramel color and pour it over the biscuits. Dot with more butter.

You just bake the whole thing (covered with aluminum foil) according to the directions on the biscuits--usually at around 350* for 15 minutes or so. Watch closely because all that sugar will want to burn.

The cream cheese isn't traditional but it is delicious and cuts some of the sugar-overload you otherwise get.

Answer 3

Monkey Bread is a yeasted sweet bread, sort of similar to cinnimon buns only in ball shape and tastier! I make them about four times a year, and they never last more than an hour. Yummy! Here's the recipe:

Dough

2 eggs
warm water (to make two cups)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup non-fat dry milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt

Break eggs into a two cup liquid measure and fill the balance with warm water. Pour this into a mixing bowl and beat it together. Add 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar and when it has desolved add the yeast.

After the yeast has dissolved, stir in the dry milk, the balance of the sugar and butter. Mix in a cup of the flour and then the salt. Add about 5 1/2 cups more flour, a cup at a time, and mix until it begins to hold together.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and. with floured hands, knead until the dough begins to feel smooth and less sticky. Add only enough flour to keep it from sticking to you or the board.

Let dough rest while you clean out and grease your bowl. Knead the dough a little longer until it's really smooth and silky. Place it in the greased bowl, turning it so it's greased all over. Cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel and put in a warm, draft free place to double in bulk. (1 1/2 to 2 hours) When you can stick your finger in it, without it bouncing back, the dough has doubled.

Glaze

1 cup maple syrup or brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup currants (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Knock the dough down and let it rest five minutes or so. While it's resting grease a 9-10 inch tube pan, and prepare the glaze. On the stove, over low heat combine all ingredients, until warm and fully incorporated. Let cool.

Take the dough and pull of small pieces to make balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll them in the glaze and place them in the pan, stacking as you go. Pour any leftover glaze over the top.

Cover the pan and let rest for one hour.

With fifteen minutes left, preheat oven to 350 F, bake 35-45 minutes. If top is browning too fast, turn down oven to 325 F for the last fifteen minutes or so.

Let cool about five minutes, then turn out onto large platter. Let cool to handle, and serve with coffe, tea or milk.

These are truely delicious! I highly recommend them for a rainy day.

Good luck and enjoy!

Answer 4

3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes
1 cup sugar (divided)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar


Take 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes (10 per roll) and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Drop roll pieces into 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. drop sugar coated pieces into a well buttered bundt pan (don't squish roll pieces when placing them in the bundt pan).
Put 1/2 cup of the left over sugar/cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) into small sauce pan.

Bring this mixture just to a boil, take off heat right away. Carefully drizzle over the roll pieces.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.

Cool slightly in an upright position, then tip pan over onto a plate to remove monkey pull-apart bread.
