Monkey Bread

This is a fun and simple dessert. Some people use it for breakfast, either way works! This is what you need...

Ingredients:
4 8-count rolls of Pillsbury Biscuits
4 cups Sugar (more or less, depending)
3 sticks of Butter (more or less, depending)
Cinnamon
Cooking Spray
Bundt pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by cutting each biscuit into quarters.

Melt one stick of butter in a microwave safe bowl. In a separate bowl add approx 2 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Mix well. Grease a bundt pan well with cooking spray and set to the side. Starting coating each biscuit quarter in butter, then in the sugar mixture, melting more butter as needed.

Place in the Bundt pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and Bundt pan is full. Add more sugar and cinnamon as needed using 1 tablespoon of cinnamon per cup of sugar.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until dark brown.

Note: The last two times I made this according to these directions the biscuits didn't cook at the bottom and I ended up dumping them out onto a cooking sheet to finish baking. I didn't actually use a bundt pan but a similar pan and that may or may not have had something to do with it. Every recipe I find has the same baking temperature and time as this one, so the pan may be the problem. I will update this post once I figure out the error. Below is the pan you should use for this recipe.

Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners. Sift flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, salt and baking powder together into a large bowl. Dredge the blueberries in the sifted ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the milk, butter and egg. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Let muffins sit for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
