Monkey Bread

3 cups flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1/3 cup cold butter

1 ½ cup milk

½ cup cold butter

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

6 Tbsp. butter, melted

Heat oven to 375.  Generously grease a nonstick fluted tube pan.  In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.  With a table knife, cut the butter into small pieces.  Use your fingertips to pinch the butter into the flour mixture until the lumps of butter are about the size of peas.  Then stir I the milk.  Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 seconds.  Pull off pieces of the dough and shape them into 2 ½ to 3 dozen golf ball-size pieces.  Mix the brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.  One at a time, dip the dough balls into the melted butter, roll them in the sugar mixture and place them in the prepared pan.  Stack the balls on top of one another until the pan is full.  Bake for 20 -25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.  Use a small spatula to gently loosen the bread from the sides of the pan.  Turn the monkey bread out of the pan onto a plate.  Pull pieces from it and enjoy!
