Easy King Cake
An easy King Cake made with canned biscuit dough
Servings 8
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz can of biscuits (regular, not the layered kind but the regular). We use "Grands"
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- A few spoonfuls of canned cream cheese frosting optional
- Yellow Purple, Green Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
- Open the biscuits and lay them flat on the foil. Press them into a large circle (about 12 inches) or into a giant rectangle. We've done it both ways.
- Brush the dough with butter, then mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over dough. Lay babies somewhere on the dough.
- Roll the dough up into a cylinder and pinch as tightly as possible to seal. Shape the cylinder into a circle.
- Bake for 35 minutes (check a little earlier in case your oven runs hotter). Let cool slightly, then spoon icing over top and let it fall down sides. Sprinkle colored sugar or sprinkles on top.
- Ready to eat! It tastes best shortly after being made, but also tastes good the next day.
