Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set it aside.
Take the prepared biscuit dough out of the package and cut each biscuit into six smaller pieces.
Once cut, toss gently in the cinnamon sugar mix until completely coated.
Press the pieces of the cinnamon sugar-coated dough into a greased muffin tin. Be careful to not overfill as the biscuits will rise significantly.
Next, add the melted butter to the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture and stir to combine well. Once mixed, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture onto each muffin.
Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through.
For the icing, mix together the sugar and milk and when the muffins are finished, drizzle the icing over the cooled muffins.

You can even do the prep the night before. Do all the steps except the baking and then cover the pan of goodness with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to put it in the oven.
It is really important that you spray the bottom of the muffin pan really, really well so that none of the deliciousness sticks to the pan.
A pair of kitchen shears or a pizza cutter makes it easy to cut the dough into pieces. Spray with a bit of cooking spray first so that the sticky dough doesn't stick to the cutter.
Do NOT overfill with the butter mixture.
Place foil or a cookie sheet at the bottom of your oven to catch any boilover of the sugar/cinnamon mixture so you don’t end up with a mess at the bottom of your oven.
