Save Warm, fluffy biscuits on skewers, coated in fiery cinnamon sugar and baked until golden. A playful, spicy-sweet treat perfect for sharing.
I first made these biscuit skewers for a game night and everyone loved the hit of cinnamon mixed with an unexpected spicy kick. They disappeared faster than any other snack that night.
Ingredients
- Biscuit dough: 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup (100 g)
- Ground cinnamon: 1 1/2 tbsp
- Cayenne pepper: 1–2 tsp (adjust to taste)
- Chili powder: 1/2 tsp (optional, for extra heat)
- Unsalted butter: 4 tbsp (60 g), melted
Instructions
- Mix cinnamon sugar:
- In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, and chili powder.
- Prepare biscuits:
- Separate biscuit dough. Roll each biscuit into a ball, then gently elongate into an oval shape.
- Skewer biscuits:
- Thread each biscuit onto a wooden skewer (soaked 10 min if baking directly on oven rack).
- Brush with butter:
- Brush each biscuit generously with melted butter.
- Coat biscuits:
- Roll each skewer in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides.

- Arrange skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 13–15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best flavor.
