Description

Warm, gooey Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls bring homemade comfort straight from grandma’s kitchen. Fragrant spices and buttery dough create a morning treat that wraps sweet comfort around your senses.


Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 ounces/454 grams) can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar

Spice and Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the culinary workspace by heating the oven to a toasty 350F (175C), simultaneously preparing a baking vessel with a light butter coating to prevent sticking.
  2. Craft a fragrant filling by blending brown and granulated sugars with aromatic ground cinnamon and a whisper of vanilla, creating a sweet and spicy mixture.
  3. Transform biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface, gently coaxing each round into an elongated oval shape with delicate pressing and rolling motions.
  4. Lavish the flattened dough with a silky layer of melted butter, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor and tender texture.
  5. Generously scatter the prepared cinnamon-sugar blend across the buttered surface, distributing the sweet mixture evenly to guarantee each bite is equally delectable.
  6. Carefully roll each biscuit into a tight spiral, tucking and pressing the edges to seal in the luscious filling, then nestle the rolls snugly within the prepared baking dish.
  7. Allow the rolls to bake in the preheated oven, transforming from pale dough to golden-brown delights, typically requiring 18-20 minutes of patient anticipation.
  8. While the rolls are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create a velvety smooth icing with a pristine white appearance.
  9. Drizzle the luxurious icing over the warm rolls, letting it cascade and pool in delightful rivulets, creating an irresistible finale to these quick and indulgent treats.

Notes

  • Customize the sugar blend by mixing in a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg for deeper, more complex flavor notes.
  • Swap traditional white flour biscuits with whole wheat or gluten-free versions to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising taste.
  • Enhance moisture by brushing extra melted butter on top during the last 5 minutes of baking, creating a golden, slightly crispy exterior with a soft interior.
  • Create make-ahead magic by preparing rolls the night before, refrigerating, and baking fresh in the morning for a quick, delightful breakfast treat.
