    1 1/2 sticks  unsalted butter, chilled
    3 Tb.  maple syrup
    1/3 c. + 2 Tb.  sugar
    1/3 c.  brown sugar
    1 Tb.  ground cinnamon
    2 c.  flour
    1 Tb.  baking powder
    1/2 tsp.  salt
    3/4 c.  buttermilk, chilled

Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 415 degrees. In a small bowl, microwave 4 Tb. butter and the maple syrup at high power until melted, 30 seconds; stir. In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup sugar, the brown sugar and the cinnamon.

In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder , the remaining 2 Tb. sugar and the salt; pulse to combine. Cut the remaining 1 stick chilled butter into small pieces and pulse with the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Pulse in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface; pat into a 10-inch square (the dough will be sticky). Quarter the dough, then cut each quarter into 16 equal pieces; roll into balls.

Dip each ball in the maple butter, then coat with sugar mixture. Place 5-6 coated ball into each muffin cup and press to compact.

Bake until cooked through and golden, 15-17 minutes (tent with foil if the tops darken too quickly). Transfer the muffin pan to a rack and cool for 10 minutes. Using a knife, loosen the sides of the monkey bread; invert onto a platter, then turn right side up. Serve warm.
