Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)

Icing:

• Powdered sugar (approximately 1/2 cup)
• Couple teaspoons milk (adjust as needed for consistency)
• Drop of vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2. Put the butter in a pie plate and place it in the oven to melt while it preheats. Remove the pie plate from the oven when the butter is melted.

4. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the biscuit quarters in the pie plate.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
6. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
7. Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle them with the icing.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!

5. Can I freeze leftovers?
   • Yes, you can freeze any leftover cinnamon bites in an airtight container for up to one month. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

Tips:

1. Be sure to evenly distribute the cinnamon sugar mixture over the biscuit quarters for maximum flavor in each bite.
2. If you prefer a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner icing, add more milk.
3. Serve these cinnamon bites warm for the best flavor and texture. They’re perfect for brunches, potlucks, or as a special treat any time of day.
4. Feel free to get creative with the icing by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of maple syrup for extra flavor.
