Ingredients

Muffins

  • 24 oz refrigerated biscuit dough 2x13-oz packages (I used Pillsbury)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 stick, melted

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or add paper cupcake liners.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Open the biscuit dough package and separate into individual pieces. Cut them into quarters and coat thoroughly with the brown sugar mixture. Reserve any remaining mixture.
  • Place 4 pieces of dough into each muffin cup.
  • In a medium bowl, combine butterscotch pudding mix, melted butter and add in any remaining brown sugar mix.
  • Coat the top of your muffins with butterscotch mixture.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside to cool in the pan.
  • Make the icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, powdered sugar and milk.
  • Once the muffins are lukewarm, drizzle the icing on top and serve.
