2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening, plus more for pan and bowl
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)

1 envelope dry active yeast (scant tablespoon)
3/4 cup warm milk (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube/Bundt® pan.
  • Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan.

  • Let the monkey bread cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the monkey bread from breaking apart.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or cream cheese frosting.
