Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 2/3 cup milk (room temperature)
Filling Ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Optional Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (to thin)
- Prepare the Dough: Combine 2 cups of Bisquick mix and 2/3 cup of room temperature milk in a bowl. Stir gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the rolls tender and light.
- Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface, then roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, creating a perfect canvas for your cinnamon filling.
- Add the Filling: Brush 1/4 cup melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle generously with a mixture of 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. This creates the classic sweet spiral inside.
- Roll and Cut: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into even slices, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased pan and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Icing: While the rolls are cooling slightly, whip up a simple cream cheese glaze by mixing 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, and 1-2 teaspoons milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls for a luscious finish.
Notes
- Do not overwork the dough; mix just until combined to keep rolls soft and tender.
- Use room temperature milk and butter for better blending and dough rise.
- Roll the dough evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Wipe your knife between cuts to keep slices neat and prevent squashing.
- Watch the bake time carefully to avoid drying out the cinnamon rolls.
