Ingredients
Biscuit and Coating
- 2 Cans biscuits (Pillsbury Grands recommended)
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
Egg Mixture
- 4 eggs (beaten)
- 1/4 Cup heavy cream
- 1 Teaspoon maple extract
Frosting
- 1/2 Cup butter
- 3 1/4 Cups powdered sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 Tablespoon milk
Topping
- 1 Cup strawberries (diced)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the biscuits.
- Whisk Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, heavy cream, and maple extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to make the coating.
- Roll Biscuits in Egg Mixture: Remove biscuits from the can. Roll each biscuit into a ball, then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: After dipping in the eggs, roll each biscuit ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Prepare Skillet: Butter a cast iron skillet thoroughly to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated biscuit balls in the buttered skillet, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Frosting: While the biscuits bake, whisk together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Remove the baked biscuits from the oven, drizzle the frosting evenly over the top, then sprinkle diced strawberries for a fresh, fruity finish. Serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet or any oven-safe skillet for even baking.
- The maple extract in the egg mixture adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor—do not omit for best results.
- You can substitute strawberries with any fresh berries or fruit of your choice.
- Serve immediately while warm for a soft and melty texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently warmed before serving.
