Monkey Bread

A few weeks ago a lady brought Monkey Bread to our Common Ground meeting. Kim and I kept sneaking back for seconds :) Then, for Ella's birthday she received a Paula Deen's Kid's Cooking recipe book, and the Monkey Bread recipe was in it! After a busy morning at Lowes, lunch, and then boredom from the rain, I decided to make it with the kids.

Here's the recipe if you want to try it:

What you'll need: Pie plate, cutting board, butter knife, small pot, wooden spoon, bundt pan, oven mitts, wire rack, big cake plate, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, 3 cans of refrigerator biscuits, 1 stick butter, 1 cup brown sugar, cooking spray.

What you'll do: 1. Turn the oven to 325 degrees.

2. Put the white sugar and cinnamon in the pie plate and mix them together with your fingers until they are completely mixed. Remove the biscuits from the tubes. Place each biscuit on the cutting board and cut eachone into fourths using the butterknife. Place each piece of biscuit into the cinnamon sugar and shake it around until its coated.

3. With an adult helper nearby, but hte butter and brown sugar into the pot and heat it over low until it is mixed together. Stir is with the wooden spoon. Turn off the heat.

4. Spray the bundt pan with cooking spray. Place the biscuits pieces evenly in the bundt pan. Pour the brown sugar mix over the biscuits.

5. Bake the biscuits in the oven for 35 minutes. Have your adult helper use oven mitts or hot pads to remove the bundt pan and place it on the wire rack to cook for 10 minutes.

6. To serve, turn the bundt pan upside down onto the cake plate. The biscuits should fall right out. Let the monkey bread cool for a few minutes so that you don't burn your fingers or mouth. Pinch off pieces to eat.
