Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 (16.4 oz) cans refrigerated biscuit dough each biscuit quartered (each can should contain 8 biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1/2 cup = 1 stick)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Cream cheese icing for serving, if desired*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease 2 (9 inch) round non-stick cake pans generously with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place granulated sugar, butterscotch pudding mix, and cinnamon into a gallon sized ziplock bag.
  • Seal and shake to combine.
  • Add in quartered biscuits and pecans, then gently shake until fully coated in the cinnamon sugar mixture - some of the sugar won’t stick, that’s ok.

  • Dump evenly into the 2 prepared pans. Set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan.
  • Once melted, whisk in brown sugar and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 1 minute, whisking constantly, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Pour the hot liquid evenly over the 2 pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the biscuits have cooked through.
  • Let bread cool slightly, then serve and enjoy!
