Mama's Monkey Bread

This recipe makes me so happy in so many ways...this has been our Christmas morning tradition for as long as I can remember. We get up, mom and I both make the monkey bread and then we open presents while we smell it baking in the oven! You can cut it like a cake and then the individual pieces break off in delicious sticky finger-ness. :-)

Ingredients:
* 4 tubes biscuits (for vegetarian version -- make sure to check for lard)
* 1-1/3 cups sugar
* 2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1 stick butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
* Cut biscuits into quarters. Mix together 2/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll each biscuit piece in sugar/cinnamon mixture. Drop into greased bundt pan.

* Combine remaining sugar, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla in sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Pour over biscuits.

* Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Turn out onto a plate immediately. Best served warm.
