Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2/3 cup of milk. Stir until a soft dough forms that is slightly sticky but holds together well.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to form a cohesive ball, being careful not to overwork it to keep the rolls tender.
- Roll out the dough: Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking.
- Brush with butter: Generously brush the surface of the dough with melted butter to add richness and help the filling stick.
- Add the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough rectangle.
- Shape the rolls: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into 8 equal rolls using a sharp knife.
- Arrange for baking: Place the cinnamon rolls cut side up into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake the rolls: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-knead the dough to keep the rolls soft.
- You can adjust the milk in the glaze to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve the cinnamon rolls warm for the best taste experience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
