2224.0. "Monkey Bread" by BSS::BLAZEK (only room for one in your cage) Sat Jan 27 1990 20:34

I didn't see a Bread topic this would really fit under, so this topic
is for breads that can be served for breakfast when you want something 
a bit fancier than banana bread or toast with jam.

Monkey Bread
------------

4 cans ready to bake biscuits, 10 to a can
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 sticks butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Cut unbaked biscuits into fourths.  In a paper sack, mix 1/2 cup sugar
and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.  Shake pieces in sack a few at a time.  Place
in a well-greased bundt pan.

Mix 1 cup sugar, butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a sauce pan.  Bring
to a boil and pour over biscuits.  Bake at 350�F for 35 minutes.

Very rich and fattening, but well worth walking for.

2224.2Clarification of termsSNOC02::MASCALL"Tiddley quid?" dixit Porcellus.Wed Jul 22 1992 21:3212
Hi,

For the non-Americans, could you please explain what "Crisco" is, and 
how much is in a "stick" of butter?

This recipe looks really good: I'll make it as soon as I understand it!

Thanks,
Sheridan

    Crisco is the brand name of a popular vegetable shortening.
    
    A stick of butter is eight tablespoons, or 1/4 pound.
    
    Good luck. I also have a nice recipe for a Herb Monkey Bread that I'll
    enter here as soon as I've brought it in from home.

    crisco is a solid vegetable shortening. We buy it in a can. I use it in
    pie crust also. Before we had crisco our grandmothers used lard.
