Another Cinnamon Roll recipe

Cinnamon Roll Biscuits

  • 4 1/2 cups Homemade Baking Mix
  • 1 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or raw sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Glaze (I made a little extra since we like lots of glaze around here!)

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons milk

Combine Baking Mix and milk. Turn onto a well-floured surface and knead at least ten times (the dough will be sticky). Roll dough out into a rectangle.

Melt butter and brush over rolled out dough. Mix together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over melted butter. Roll up and cut into 12 rolls.

Place in a greased baking pan and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Mix glaze ingredients together and drizzle over Cinnamon Roll Biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve warm.

Cinnamon Rolls

I'm going to make these with Wheat biscuits and Splenda... I'm sure they will be good for me then... :)

Rolls:

2 cans of buttermilk biscuits (5 per can)
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup cinnamon
1/2 cup of sugar or Splenda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Icing:

powdered sugar
milk

Preheat oven at 350°F.

Separate biscuits from can and pat each one down to flatten. Overlapping each biscuit make two rows (there should be two rows of five over lapping each other).

In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in the cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract. Brush generously over biscuits coating entire surface. Roll the biscuits to form a 6-8 inch log. Cut both ends off, then cut 2 inch slices.

Place in cake pan, forming a circle and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk to the consistency of thick syrup. Once rolls are cooked, remove from oven and drizzle the icing all over the rolls.

Let stand for about 10 minutes or until icing hardens.
