Monkey Bread

Hello blog! I'm sorry I've neglected you lately :) I'm finally done with all of my orthodontic residency interviews, and I'm trying to get my life back to normal. This weekend, all that is on the agenda is RELAXATION. Woo hoo! Here's a recipe I've been meaning to post for a while:

I was hanging out with a few of my classmates the other day, and the subject of monkey bread came up. They looked at me like I was crazy, and I was astonished that they had never experienced the delectable treat. So I decided to whip some up for them, and it turned out great.

4 pack of 7.5 oz refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, but in my opinion, so not optional)

Preheat oven to 350˚. Grease one bundt pan.

Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using pecans, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.

Bake at 350˚F for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Pull apart and enjoy!
