Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of dough for this recipe?

Yes, you can! While the recipe calls for Grands biscuit dough, you can use any type of refrigerated biscuit dough you prefer. Just be mindful of the cooking time as it may vary slightly.

How do I store leftover cinnamon sugar bites?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes until they’re warm and crispy again.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these bites ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. If you want them to taste freshly made, reheat them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes before serving.

What if I don’t have an air fryer?

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these in a conventional oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown.

Is there a way to make these bites healthier?

You can try using a low-fat biscuit dough and reducing the amount of butter and sugar. Additionally, using a sugar substitute for the cinnamon sugar coating can help cut down on calories.

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes, you can freeze the biscuit dough. Cut the dough into pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to use, you can cook them directly from frozen; just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I add extra flavors to the bites?

You can experiment by adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon sugar mixture. For a citrus twist, add some finely grated lemon or orange zest to the melted butter before dipping the bites.

What can I serve with these cinnamon sugar bites?

These bites pair well with a variety of dips and sides. Consider serving them with caramel or chocolate sauce, fresh fruit, or even a scoop of your favorite ice cream. They’re also great with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

How do I prevent the bites from sticking to the air fryer basket?

To prevent sticking, make sure to lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil before placing the dough pieces inside. You can also use parchment paper or an air fryer liner for easier cleanup.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, you can easily double or triple the recipe to serve a larger crowd. Just be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
