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
- 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.
- 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.
- Transform biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface, gently coaxing each round into an elongated oval shape with delicate pressing and rolling motions.
- Lavish the flattened dough with a silky layer of melted butter, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor and tender texture.
- Generously scatter the prepared cinnamon-sugar blend across the buttered surface, distributing the sweet mixture evenly to guarantee each bite is equally delectable.
- 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.
- 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.
- While the rolls are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create a velvety smooth icing with a pristine white appearance.
- 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.
