Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and prepare a muffin tin by either spraying it with non-stick spray or using cupcake liners.

Open the tube of biscuit dough and separate it into 8 individual biscuits. Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into quarters.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, butterscotch pudding mix, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Dip each quarter piece of biscuit dough into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated. Afterward, roll each coated piece in the prepared brown sugar mixture until fully covered.

Evenly distribute the coated biscuit pieces into the 12 prepared muffin cups. If there's any leftover brown sugar mixture, sprinkle it generously over the top of each muffin cup filled with dough.
6
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
