📝 Preparation Steps
1
Set a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 375°F. Set a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and reserve the wrappers. The butter will melt, foam, and then the milk solids will caramelize into light golden-brown specks, creating brown butter. Using a light-colored pan will help you see the color change as the butter browns.*
2
Add the brown sugar to the pan.
brown sugar ($0.45)1 cup
3
Whisk until the brown sugar has completely incorporated with the brown butter and is no longer crystallized. It will form a caramel.

4
Take the pan off the heat and add the cream. Whisk until it has completely incorporated into the caramel.
5
Whisk in the vanilla and the cinnamon.
cinnamon ($0.04)2 tsp
6
Grease a Bundt pan with the butter wrappers. Add more butter if necessary. While the caramel cools, quarter each of the sixteen biscuits.
7
Dip each biscuit piece into the cooled caramel, then layer it in the Bundt pan.*
8
Top the Monkey Bread with any remaining caramel.
9
Bake at 375°F for 35 to ⏱️ 40 minutes, or until the top of the Monkey Bread springs back when touched.
10
Allow the loaf to cool before inverting it onto a serving dish.
