When I saw this recipe on Pioneer Woman, I knew I had to try it. If it's good enough for Ree, it's good enough for me! (this woman is a wiz in the kitchen!) You can find her version of Monkey Bread here. I am planning to make it again using Ree's cinnamon roll dough instead of the plastic canned biscuits, but I have to admit, this was really yummy.
One word on mine vs. hers: notice that mine is drier looking. There is a reason for this. I used an angel food cake pan instead of a bundt pan because my bundt is all fancy and not flat like hers must be, judging from the picture.
Learn from my mistake: do not try the Angel Food pan! The sugary-liquid leaked out of the 2 piece pan and started a fire in my oven! No matter what you might hear, I did NOT panic. I did panic a little when I realized the smokey-burnt taste had soaked into the top layer of the biscuits (a.k.a. monkey balls, but you didn't hear that from me!) Luckily, the rest of it was just fine, but I do think I will have to make it again, you know, for the sake of the art. ;)
Oh! And these arrived:

I love monkey bread though I must admit I make mine out of canned biscuits. And I always use a bundt pan for mine. I'll have to check out PW's recipe (it's likely better than mine--though can any recipe go wrong that calls for a stick of butter and a couple cups of sugar?!?!)
OH MY GAWD!! THAT LOOKS GOOODDDDDDDD!!!!
Never heard of monkey bread before. Sounds cool!!
I also am a huge fan of monkey bread! ANd I too make them out of canned biscuits in my "fancy" bundt pan but I add chopped pecans to mine....I guess I will have to make somethis weekend since I am now craving it!
That's hilarious. You said monkey balls...
:D They look yummy. Biscuits are a breeze. I might do them with the fresh variety.
Monkey bread is delicious! I prefer when other people make it for me, though. I've seen a microwave package of it in the stores, but that can't be good.
I love that you didn't panic. I totally believe you.
my mom always used to make this when i was growing up- it's my FAVORITE! once you start eating it, you can't stop! you've gotta sprinkle walnuts over the top, though. Yum!
