I have also made it with butterscotch or chocolate pudding. This brings back memories.

My sister makes something she calls Monkey Bread and it calls for frozen bread dough rolls, melted butter, and dry butterscotch pudding. Get it put together at night and let it sit out overnight for the dough to thaw. It's tasty, but not I don't ever think of it as Monkey Bread because I'm so used to my version.

I always use a recipe similar to JLF's version except I use one cup white sugar, one cup brown. Since canned biscuits come in a four-pack, I use all four cans. My recipe doesn't call for milk.

tried and true 40+ year old monkey bread recipe

4 cans of biscuits (10 to a can)

3/4 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

quarter biscuits

place sugar and cinnamon in a bag and mix well.

add quartered biscuits a few at a time and shake well in bag

place all quarters in a well buttered bundt or tube pan.

Bring to a boil

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 sticks butter

pour over biscuit mixture in bundt pan.

Bake @ 350 degrees for 45 minutes

allow to cool slightly and unmold onto a wire rack. i think this is best served slightly warm.

They do? I've only ever bought them individually. There's only two of us, so one can is more than enough for us.

What other type of pan could you use. Would a 9""x13"" pan work.

i think you could use that size or even loaf pans. i have only used bundt or tube pans.

I've made it in a loaf pan. I just don't use the 4 cans of biscuits that I would use for a bundt pan.

It would bake in 9x13 just fine, I just like it to be deeper than that.

Stores here have them in 4 packs. It's a little bit cheaper to buy them that way.

I have been making these for years since a lady brought them to work one morning. I only use a bundt pan & store brand cheap biscuits. I don't use milk. They are the easiest rolls I've ever made.

Honestly, I believe a bundt pan is required for the recipe to turn out right. When you put all those pieces of dough in the bundt pan, the way they press against one another during the backing process gives a cobbled result that's part of the presentation. You wouldn't get that in a 9" x 13". The bundt styled pan also aids in the even baking without drying. With a 9" x 13", I think there's too much surface space that would dry out while waiting for the center to get done. JMO
