Bacon Monkey Bread - The Perfect Christmas Morning Breakfast




















This is a variation of this recipe, that I found on Pinterest.

It's a really good recipe for Christmas morning because there's hardly any work required. I served it up at this month's Suppa' Club and it was goooo-oood. I was in charge of bringing the meat, but I also wanted to make monkey bread, so why not just add bacon to it?


Bacon Monkey Bread (makes a dozen)

Ingredients:
-Refrigerated Biscuit Dough (Cut each biscuit piece into thirds)
-Butter
-Sugar
-Ground Cinnamon
-Sweetened, Condensed Milk
-12 slices bacon

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Line bacon onto cookie sheet that's covered with foil. Cook in oven for about 15 min, or until cooked thoroughly BUT NOT CRISPY. You need to be able to fold 'em up. Allow bacon to cool slightly.
3. Place 1/2 teaspoon of butter, teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in each of the muffin tin cups. No mixing required.
4. Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Place 1 in each muffin tin. Then fold bacon into each muffin tin. Place other two dough pieces inside, with the bacon in the middle of the three dough pieces.
5. Add another 1/2 teaspoon of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and a dash of cinnamon on top of the dough. Again, no mixing required. Here's what it might look like:

















6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
7. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with condensed milk over each one. BE GENEROUS.
8. Enjoy the baconated Monkey Bread.

Easy Donuts

Growing up, my dad and I would go to Dunkin Donuts every Saturday to get my favorite donut, 'The Manager's Special', which had coconut and Boston Creme and Icing and plenty of high fructose corn syrup.

Have you heard that donuts are the new cupcake? Well as you can see, I started the donut trend.
Here's an easy donut to make when you have leftover biscuit dough.

No joke, it's so easy to make and very delicious.























EASY DONUTS

Ingredients

1 ten count can Texas style doughnuts (or your preference, just not flaky layers)

1 Cup Sugar

1 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon

1 stick margarine, melted

Vegetable Oil For Frying


Instructions


1. Pour oil into skillet to the depth of a little less than 1/2 an inch and heat on medium to medium high for about five minutes. In a bowl, melt margarine. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.

2. Using a plastic bottle cap, cut the center out of each biscuit. Drop dough into hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden. Once doughnuts are golden on both sides, remove to paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all dough is cooked, including doughnut holes.
