Mini Monkey Buns

I'm all about quick and easy! So this busy morning of catching up on school work for my oldest daughter Molly and getting ready for a meeting later this morning, I needed something quick and easy! So I took a cue from The Pioneer Woman and made these quick little morning buns with a few small adjustments.






(Taken with my phone because I couldn't find my camera!)


Mini Monkey Buns


8 ct. Grands buttermilk biscuits, cut into 16ths and each piece "balled" up
stick unsalted butter (cut into matchsticks; and cubed) cubes should be about the size of a pencil eraser
sugar
cinnamon
powdered sugar
vanilla
water


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mini muffin pan  place one butter cube, just enough sugar to cover the bottom of the muffin tin and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Place three little balls of dough into each spot; top with another cube of butter. Bake for about 8 min. or until golden brown. Pop out of pan while still hot and drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze ( 1/4 c. powdered sugar 2 T. water and a dash of vanilla) Makes roughly 42 mini muffins.
