1-First Step: Prep Your Pan and Mise en Place Grease a bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray. This prevents sticking and ensures easy release. Zest and juice lemons ahead you’ll need zest from 3 and 1/4 cup juice total. Measure sugar into one bowl, melt butter in another, and whisk butter with 1/4 cup lemon juice. Cut open the two 16-oz cans of biscuits and quarter each into four pieces (about 40-48 total). For gluten-free, use certified biscuits here.

Immediately roll in the lemon sugar, ensuring even coverage. Work in batches to keep coating fresh. Layer pieces in the bundt pan, filling gaps for even baking. Low-calorie adapt: dip lightly to cut butter use.
