Monkey Bread

From the kitchen of: Mrs. Young.

Monkey Bread

This is the original and best Monkey Bread recipe; all imitators pale in comparison. This breakfast dish will cause my family to riot when it’s served, and I’ve made it for parties and had people practically swallow it whole. Mom got the recipe from our neighbor, Mrs. Young, on South East 4th Street in Ankeny, Iowa in the 1970’s and has been serving it ever since. Recently it’s become a popular “new” dish with some significant and low-quality differences. Chuck the others, this is the one you want.

  • 3 packages refrigerator biscuits
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Grease bundt pan. Cut biscuits in 1/2, drop in cinnamon and sugar mix. Drop in pan.

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick margarine

Boil 1 minute, pour over biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
