Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat and Prep the Pan Preheat your oven to 350Β°F. Generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray. This prevents sticking and ensures easy release. Have all ingredients measured out nearby for efficiency.
2-Second Step: Cut and Prep Biscuit Pieces Open the 2 cans of refrigerated biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters using kitchen shears or a knife. This creates bite-sized pieces perfect for pulling apart. Aim for uniform sizes to bake evenly, about 40-48 pieces total.
3-Third Step: Make the Lemon Sugar Coating Melt Β½ cup butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix 1 cup granulated sugar with zest from 3 lemons. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers to release oils for maximum flavor. This step infuses every piece with citrus aroma.
4-Fourth Step: Dip and Layer the Biscuits Dip each biscuit quarter in melted butter, let excess drip off, then roll in the lemon sugar mixture. Layer pieces evenly in the prepared bundt pan, filling gaps as you go. Press lightly for a snug fit. Repeat until all pieces are used.
5-Fifth Step: Bake to Golden Perfection Bake at 350Β°F for 35-40 minutes. The top should be puffed, golden brown, and caramelized. If browning too fast, tent with foil after 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes.
6-Final Step: Glaze and Serve Whisk 2 cups powdered sugar, ΒΌ cup fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle over the warm bread. Let sit 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Pull apart and enjoy! Total time: 55 minutes, serves 8-10.
