MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
• In a small saucepan, make the sauce by melting the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and milk over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Cut the biscuits into quarters or sixths.
• Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and allspice and coat each biscuit piece in the cinnamon mixture and place in the bundt pan.
• Layer the biscuits in with the chopped pecans and the butter mixture. Finish with the butter mixture over the top and around the edges of the biscuits.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, when done the dough will puff up and become golden brown and crisp on top. And a toothpick inserted into the thickest part should come out clean.
• Remove from the oven and flip the monkey bread out onto a serving dish. Drizzle with vanilla icing, if desired.

GRANNY'S MONKEY BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare pan: Heavily grease Bundt or fluted tube pan with butter (12-cup capacity). Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare the dough: Separate biscuits and cut each one into four equal bite-sized pieces. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl or plastic bag. Drop roll each piece of dough in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and shake around to coat. Gently arrange the cinnamon-sugar biscuit pieces into the prepared pan.
• Heat syrup: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Add 1/2 cup of the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture (discard remaining or use for another recipe). Gently heat to melt butter and bring mixture just to a boil and then immediately remove from heat. Stir until sugars have fully dissolved. Do not overcook the syrup; you simply want to help the sugar dissolve. Carefully drizzle the warm mixture over the rolled dough balls in the pan.
• Bake: Arrange pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Time may vary; see note below.
• Invert: Allow pan to rest for about 5 minutes, then cover with a large plate and invert. To eat, pull the desired amount off with your fingers (like a monkey would) and enjoy the gooey sweet sinful treat.
