How to Make Southern 3-Ingredient Flaky Butter Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish or pie plate.
- Separate the biscuits and cut each one into quarters to make bite-sized pieces.
- Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, then roll it in the sugar until coated.
- Arrange the coated pieces in the prepared baking dish, nestling them close together. Pour any remaining butter over the top and sprinkle on any extra sugar.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are deep golden brown and the butter and sugar have formed a bubbling glaze. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Tips to Make Southern 3-Ingredient Flaky Butter Bites
- Make sure your butter is fully melted for the best coating.

Variation
You can customize this recipe by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even fruit pieces into the biscuit pieces before coating them in butter and sugar. This adds even more flavor and texture to your bites!
FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of biscuit? Yes! You can use any refrigerated biscuit dough you have on hand, but buttermilk biscuits give the best flavor and texture.
2. How do I know when they are done baking? They should be golden brown on top and bubbly. You can check by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
3. Can I freeze the leftover butter bites? Yes, you can freeze them. Place them in a freezer-safe container and store for up to three months. Thaw and reheat in the oven before serving.
