Microwave Monkey Bread

My friend Valerie gave me this recipe, and it's been used a number of times in my household.  It makes a perfect dessert for a breakfast for dinner type of evening.

Ingredients:
Topping:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp light corn syrup
2 tbsp whipping cream (I rarely have this around the house so I haven't ever used it.)
optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Rolls:
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 can pillsbury Grands! buttermilk biscuits (5 to 8) cut into quarters

In a 9" glass pie plate (or if you can't find it like me, a 9 x 9 square pan), plate 1/4 cup butter.  microwave uncovered on high 40 to 60 seconds or until melted. Stir in remaining topping ingredients except pecans.  Microwave uncovered on high 1 minute.  Stir; sprinkle evenly with nuts.

In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup brown sugar and cinnamon.  Dip biscuit quarters into the melted butter, then into cinnamon mixture to coat well.  Arrange biscuits in circle over topping in pie plate, being careful to leave the center open.  Microwave uncovered on high 4 to 6 minutes or until centers of the biscuits are no longer doughy.  Cool in pan 30 seconds.  Invert over serving plate (or in my case, a cookie sheet).  Serve warm.
