Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites Recipe - The Cookie Rookie® (2024)

FAQs

What is cinnamon sugar used for? ›

Cinnamon sugar is a mixture of ground cinnamon and granulated sugar used as a spice to flavor foods such as Belgian waffles, Snickerdoodle cookies, tortillas, coffee cake, French toast, and churros. It is also used to flavor apples, cereals, and other fruits.

The ingredients are most likely listed before the instructions in biscuit recipes so readers know what they will need in order to follow the recipe. This allows the reader to ensure they have everything necessary before starting, eliminating the chance of needing to stop and find something in the middle of the process.

If the biscuits are no more than a month expired, then yes, it is safe. If the biscuits are completely dehydrated and still inside the original package, then they are still safe to eat. If the biscuits are stored as instructed, then they will usually be safe to eat.

Increasing the amount of butter definitely makes the biscuit "taste" softer, more crumbly, and more flaky. I usually associate flakiness and softness with size; you expect a big biscuit to be fluffy and soft, and a biscuit that doesn't rise to be dense.

There's no research to suggest you can overdose on cinnamon. The concern with eating too much cinnamon relates to its coumarin content, which in excessive amounts, could increase your chance of liver damage.

Some of this work shows it may curb blood sugar by lowering insulin resistance. In one study, volunteers ate from 1 to 6 grams of cinnamon for 40 days. (One gram of ground cinnamon is about half a teaspoon.) The researchers found that cinnamon cut cholesterol by about 18% and blood sugar levels by 24%.

What Is the Difference Between Cinnamon and Cinnamon Sugar? Cinnamon is a spice made from the ground bark of a plant and is used in sweet and sometimes savory dishes. It has a spiced, slightly sweet flavor. Cinnamon sugar combines ground cinnamon with sugar to make a sweet ingredient or topping for desserts.

Regular biscuits are typically prepared with milk or water instead. Buttermilk adds a nice tang to the biscuit flavor and helps them rise better.

*Substitute buttermilk, light cream, or heavy cream for the whole milk, if you prefer; use enough of whatever liquid you choose to bring the dough together readily, without you having to work it too much. The higher-fat liquid you use, the more tender and richer-tasting your biscuits will be.

So what's the final verdict? Butter is the winner here. The butter biscuits were moister with that wonderful butter taste and melt-in-your mouth texture. I'd be curious to test out substituting half or just two tablespoons of the butter with shortening to see if you get the best of both.

Can you save unused biscuits? ›

Freeze and Store Separately

Open the can, separate the raw biscuits, and lay them out on a baking sheet (don't let them touch each other or they will stick together) and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the biscuits to air-tight freezer bags and store them in the freezer.

If you've already opened up the can but still have excess dough, simply place the raw biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap. Then, freeze long enough until the dough is solid and no longer sticky, and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag.

First, Day confirmed that storing biscuits in the fridge is fine as long as they're in an airtight container. This keeps the biscuit fresh for up to five days. “For long term storage, wrap biscuits in plastic wrap, then with tin foil. Store for up to one month in the freezer,” she said.
