Several of you have mentioned that you want this recipe, so here it is, and ENJOY:
Monkey Bread
Ingredients:
3 (11 oz.) cans biscuits, quartered
½ cup sugar
3 tsp. brown sugar
3 tsp. cinnamon
½ cup butter, melted
¾ cup sugar
Raisins and chopped walnuts (optional)
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Milk
Quarter biscuits, form into balls, and shake in a mixture of sugar, cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle a thin layer of walnuts in a buttered bundt or tube cake pan. Distribute coated biscuits evenly around pan. Sprinkle raisins and walnuts around for each layer. Melt butter, add sugar and any cinnamon and sugar mixture you have left. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over and around biscuits in pan.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes, or until browned. Let stand 10 minutes, and then turn upside-down onto a plate, and remove pan.
Combine, in a small bowl, powdered sugar, vanilla and just enough milk to make a slightly runny consistency. Be careful, as it does not take much milk. Pour over monkey bread.
This is best served warm. Monkey bread is not cut, but pulled apart with fingers, just as a monkey would.

this sounds deadly! love to give it a try but you'll have to explain what "cans biscuits" are - do you mean plain biscuits, like shortbread type or is it a brand of biscuit?

LOL Benj, People in america take for granted that everyone speaks the same language. A biscuit in Oz is like a cookie. Canned biscuits in America is actually soft dough, and it rises when baked. Kind of like a roll!

AH HA! - that will be why you can roll them into balls right? I was wondering how you were going to roll a hard biscuit (sic: cookie dough) into a ball!!! - but it all makes sense now. Cheers Pat
The only problem I have now is trying to find what you guys are talking about. As far as I know - there is only one brand of cut-it-into-rounds-and-bake-it biscuits, and it has M&Ms in it - usable?
this recipe is getting more intriguing by the minute...

If you are industrious enough, you can make the dough from scratch. Or to put another way, you can mix the flour and yeast and make your own dough.

Australians & Brits will have to make their own biscuits. American biscuits are almost like a little round scone with a slightly different texture and not as sweet. Also, you don't normally bake anything into a biscuit except maybe cheese. (Certainly never raisins or currants.) They aren't at all like your biscuits/our cookies, they're just bread. They're served with butter and either jam, jelly, conserves, preserves, marmalade, sorghum syrup, cane syrup, molasses, or honey. Or, if you prefer, Smithfield (salt-preserved) ham.
Traditional Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
Categories: Bread Recipes
Yield: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
2 c Flour
1 tb Baking powder
3/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking soda
5 tb Chilled solid vegetable shortening
1 c Buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425F. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, soda, and powder. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
2. Add the buttermilk, tossing with a fork until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gather into a disk. Knead lightly a few times until smooth. (The dough may be made up to two hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and refrigerated until ready to use.)
4. Pat the dough to 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour, cut out the biscuits. Place them, two inches apart, onto an ungreased baking sheet. Gather dough trimmings, pat to 3/4 inch thick, and cut out more biscuits.
5. Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Serve hot.
They're great for breakfast with a plate of grits.
If you want a recipe for Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies, I can post one, but they wouldn't make good monkey bread.

Monkey bread? I hate raisins!
But...since you got my appetite going...
Does anyone have a starter for "friendship bread" or know how to make the starter?
I would love to have more of that yummy friendship bread but I don't know of anyone that has any or knows how to get it started.
Anyone have any idea?
yummy

Now now I grew up with a german gramdma and I learned how to make it from scratch too, so dont sit there and say that all americans make it the easy way. Course I hate doing it all by hand, so I use a bread machine  ... And I have to agree no rasine and no walnuts but this is great especially if you make it a sweet bread. yummy.....

You can use frozen bread dough, too. Bought in a large bag in the freezer section of the grocery store, usually 24 little frozen balls of dough per bag (about 2 inches across)
I have a Texas-version recipe for monkey bread below that uses the frozen dough and is really easy:
COFFEE CAKE RING – STICKY BREAD – MONKEY BREAD
Ingredients:
12-18 FROZEN BREAD ROLLS
½ CUP GRANULATED WHITE SUGAR
½ CUP DARK BROWN SUGAR
1 ½ TEASPOONS CINNAMON
1 PACKAGE OF JELLO BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING MIX
(COOK AND SERVE VERSION, NOT INSTANT)
1 STICK OF BUTTER
½ CUP NUTS (optional)
Spray a bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the frozen rolls (do NOT thaw), usually 12-18, depending on the size of your pan. It will rise significantly, so usually one layer of rolls, with a few extras thrown in for good measure is plenty.
Mix the cinnamon and the white sugar together, pour over rolls. Next, layer the brown sugar over the white sugar. Fianlly, layer the entire package of dry, unprepared, butterscotch pudding powder evenly over the last sugar layer. Add the nuts. Cut the stick of butter into squares and add as the last layer over the top of the others. DO NOT MIX. Cover pan with clean dishtowel and let rise in warm, draft free place overnight (Usually about 8-10 hours.) The bread dough will thaw, and the rolls will usually double or triple in size. Bake the next morning at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
I place a cookie sheet under my bundt pan because sometimes the butter syrup melts over in the oven. The layers will melt together and form a sweet syrup. When done, remove from oven and let sit for five minutes. Invert bundt pan on a serving plate and allow to rest for a few moments so that syrup can cover the bread. Remove bundt pan and serve pull-apart style.
