Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Bisquick
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, milk, and egg using a fork. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to form a dough. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender roll.

2. Make the Filling

  1. Combine Sugars and Spices: In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts if using.
  2. Moisten the Mixture: Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the sugar mixture and stir until it is well-moistened. Set aside.

3. Roll Out the Dough

  1. Flour the Surface: Generously flour your rolling surface and your hands to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll the Dough: Turn the dough onto the floured surface. Pat it into a rectangular shape with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness, being careful not to over-roll to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Butter and Sugar Mixture: Pour 3/4 cup of melted butter over the entire surface of the dough. Spread it evenly with a pastry brush, making sure to reach the edges. Sprinkle the sugar and nut mixture evenly over the butter.

4. Form the Rolls

  1. Roll the Dough: Starting from the long end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
  2. Slice the Rolls: Slice the rolled dough into 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces. For clean cuts, use dental floss to slice through the dough without mashing it.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the slices to a well-greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan, using a spatula to help position them.

5. Bake and Glaze

 

  1. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  2. Cool and Glaze: Let the rolls sit for 5 minutes before serving. Combine powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the warm rolls.

Notes

Serving Tips

  1. Serve Warm: For the best flavor and texture, serve the cinnamon rolls warm. They are especially delightful right out of the oven with the glaze still slightly melted.
  2. Presentation: Arrange the rolls on a serving platter or in a large bowl. You can garnish them with a light sprinkle of additional cinnamon or a few extra chopped nuts for visual appeal.
  3. Accompaniments: These cinnamon rolls pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk. They also make a great addition to a breakfast or brunch spread.
  4. Reheat for Freshness: If the rolls have cooled, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes to restore their softness. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds if you’re in a hurry.

Storage Tips

 

  1. Room Temperature: Store leftover cinnamon rolls at room temperature in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
  2. Refrigeration: For longer storage, place the rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep for up to 4 days. To prevent them from drying out, make sure the container is sealed tightly.
  3. Freezing: You can freeze the cinnamon rolls for up to 2 months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as desired.
  4. Glazing: If possible, store the rolls without the glaze to prevent it from becoming too sticky. Add the glaze just before serving to maintain its fresh appearance and flavor.
  5. Preventing Dryness: To keep the rolls moist, you can place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between layers if stacking them in a container. This helps to absorb any excess moisture and keeps the rolls from becoming soggy.
