Monkey Bread

This is definitely one of my favorite recipes my mother made growing up.  It is by far best right out of the oven.  The warmer it is the better.  I have burnt my tongue and fingers because I didn’t want to wait for it to be cooler.  This is also a recipe that you kind of cheat on as you can buy prepackaged dinner rolls to make it instead of making dough.  I know in a later recipe I will have a dough mixture that you can use for this monkey bread, however I will put down the short version here because there is no reason to wait so long to eat this.  This is a sticky enjoyable recipe for all and by all means add raisins to it as suggested.
Monkey Bread
Ingredients:
½ cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon sugar (I use my own mix), 1 tsp Cinnamon, 3 packages refrigerator rolls (dinner), 1 stick of butter,

Combine sugar and cinnamon. Cut biscuits in quarters. Roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Layer in buttered bundt pan.  Pour remaining sugar/cinnamon in 1 cup (measuring cup). Add tsp of cinnamon and enough sugar to fill cup.  Melt butter and stir sugar/cinnamon into it. Spoon over biscuits.

If you wish to add raisins, as you layer quartered biscuits into pan, sprinkle with plumped raisins.

Bake for 30 minutes @ 350 degrees F.
