Ooey-Gooey Lemon Monkey Bread

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 packed tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 2 cans Southern Homestyle biscuits , 16.3-ounce
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoons lemon extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) with a rack positioned in lower third position. Grease a (12-cup) Bundt pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

2. 2

   Combine granulated sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl; rub sugar and zest together until fragrant. Add biscuit pieces and toss to coat each piece evenly with sugar mixture; do not shake off excess sugar.

3. 3

   Arrange pieces in the prepared pan.

4. 4

   Melt butter, corn syrup, lemon extract, and any remaining lemon-sugar mixture (scant 1/2 cup) in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture is fully combined. Pour butter mixture evenly over biscuits in the pan.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the outer edges of the center biscuits registers 190 degrees F (87 degrees C), about 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.

6. 6

   Microwave frosting in a small microwave-safe bowl until runny, 10 to 15 seconds. Stir in vanilla until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over Monkey Bread.
