My favorite treat for a holiday breakfast, teatime or snack is Monkey Bread. There is something about those balls of dough, covered in butter and cinnamon/sugar that seems special. We won't count calories because anything that makes you happy, shouldn't be give a calorie number . . . at least, at Christmas time.
This is a fun recipe as you don't even have to make the dough making it a great, last-minute treat.
Monkey Bread - The Easy Way
3 cans of the refrigerated canned biscuits
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch of Nutmeg
1 stick of butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons water
Cut each biscuit into fourths and roll them in a mixture of the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Place them in a well-greased or vegetable oil sprayed Bundt pan. Melt the butter, brown sugar, and water. boil this for 2-3 minutes and pour over the balls of biscuit dough in the Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until it is puffed up a bit and golden. Immediately turn over onto a serving plate and get it in front of your family who probably have already gathered once the scent of sugar and cinnamon was in the air.
