Is this how you look and feel Sunday mornings? It's how I feel today for some reason. My husband will be leaving again today for another week of training. This makes the 5th week in a row he's been gone. He's only been coming home on weekends, which go by way too fast. Today he made Monkey Bread for breakfast, so I thought it would be fun to post the recipe for those who've never tried it. It's real good, especially with coffee -- mmm!- 3 cans premade biscuits
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut biscuits into quarters. Combine 1 cup sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add biscuit pieces, a few at a time, and coat thoroughly. Put coated biscuits into greased bundt pan. Melt butter and 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar and pour mixture over biscuits. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
Please note -- This is also known as Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread, and no, it doesn't taste like monkeys. ;)
I've made it and have had the store-bought version. Both tasted really, really good...and both were equally really, really bad for my health, heh.

ROFL Gale -- so true! It's like sitting down and eating a plateful of biscuits, something I'd never do! Fortunately, Rick only makes this every once and awhile. It's so good though that I could eat it all the time. Thank God I don't!
ReplyDeleteHope that house thing is coming along well! Let me know when I can mail your box. :)
My mom makes these often, they are really yummy!! She will sometimes use the frozen dinner roll dough too, not too much difference.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry!

The one I made at home was worse than the store-bought. It was a recipe from the Food Network's Paula Deen. Instead of having just balls of biscuit dough, the recipe called for putting cream cheese inside the balls of dough.
ReplyDeleteI could hear my heart screaming, "No mas! No mas!"
As for the house thing - as soon as I have keys-in-hand, I will definitely let you know. Thanks so much again, Rena. :)

I've heard of Monkey Bread, but I've never had it...thanks for the recipe, I can't wait to try it...
ReplyDeleteWow. That sounds like a yummy way to start the day! I'll make it for the kids (right, for the kids...) soon!
ReplyDeleteHey Rena!
ReplyDeleteThat is how I feel (and look) every morning! I am SO not a morning person but someone forgot to tell my husband and kids!
I have never heard of the bread either but I printed out the recipe and will get Vince to make it for me... you know how I am in the kitchen! haha
We call that monkey brains at our house and have it every year on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteActually, come to think of it, I think I'm the only one who calls it that...everyone else thinks that's gross. I think it's fitting.

I just used the word 'think' four times in two sentences. That's no good.

LOL -- it does looks like a brain when it's all cooked. I wonder if that's where the name came from. :)
