Instructions
Ingredients
3 cans buttermilk biscuits, non-flaky variety
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup King Cake Filling blend
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp Cookie Vanilla Extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 -2 Tbl milk
Purple, Green & Gold sugar food coloring
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
- Open all the biscuits and cut each biscuit into fourths. Kitchen shears work great for this.
- Combine the sugar and King Cake Filling blend in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add in about 1/3 of the biscuit pieces. Shake to coat. Repeat with the remaining biscuit pieces, working in batches, and shaking to coat evenly.
- Pour the biscuit pieces and any remaining sugar mixture from the zip-top bag into the bundt pan.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is an even brown color and well combined. Pour over the biscuits in the bundt pan.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the crust is deep golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wide, rimmed platter – the syrup will run over the bread, so you want a platter that will hold the syrup. Allow to cool for another 10 mins before glazing.
- Combine the powdered sugar and 1 Tbl milk. Add more milk to adjust the consistency. Divide the glaze amongst 3 bowls and color with the food coloring. Use the three colors of glaze to drizzle over the bread.
