Monkey Bread

Okay let's face it, there is nothing pretty about Monkey Bread but oh is it tasty!

Biscuits coated with cinnamon and sugar and butter, yes please. 

 

At first I was going to make my own biscuits but then I remembered my Mama Doris'.

She is the woman that taught me everything I know about baking.  But don't, I repeat, don't eat one of her biscuits.  They are lead! 

Every summer my family would go and visit and she would have biscuits, bacon, eggs and grits for breakfast.  Yum right! 

When my sister and I got older, as did my grandparents, the bacon and eggs started to disappear and wow could you tell how heavy those biscuits were.  And get this...if we didn't eat them she would place them on a dish and put it up in the cabinet for later.  I vividly remember opening the cupboard to get a glass and seeing those biscuits. 

I look back now and smile, I too put uneaten biscuits in the cupboard for later, but mine are store bought.
