Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

1. Lightly flour your work surface.
2. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12×8 inches.
3. Try to keep the thickness even so the rolls bake uniformly.

Step 4: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Filling

1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
2. Brush the dough with melted butter.
3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a few drops of vanilla to the filling.

Step 5: Roll and Slice

1. Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1–1.5 inch slices.
3. Place the rolls cut side up in the prepared baking dish, leaving a small gap between each.

Step 6: Bake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the rolls are light golden brown.
2. Avoid overbaking—they should be soft, fluffy, and slightly gooey in the center.

Tip: If you like extra-soft rolls, cover them loosely with foil for the first 10 minutes of baking.

Step 7: Prepare the Glaze

While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency—it should be pourable but not too thin.

Step 8: Glaze the Rolls

1. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
3. Serve immediately for a soft, gooey treat, or let them cool completely if you prefer a firmer texture.

Pro Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Rolls

• Temperature matters: Don’t use cold butter for the dough; soft butter blends more easily.
• Rolling tip: Roll in one direction gently—pressing too hard can make rolls dense.
• Storage: Keep leftover rolls in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to enjoy fresh-tasting rolls.
• Variations: Add raisins, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze for a different twist.

Final Thoughts

Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect combination of quick prep and delicious taste. They’re fluffy, sweet, and loaded with cinnamon flavor, making them a wonderful breakfast, snack, or dessert. Even beginners can whip up a batch in under an hour, thanks to the simplicity of Bisquick mix.

If you want, I can also create a trick version where the rolls are made in a muffin tin, which makes them even faster and perfectly portioned. It’s a great hack for school mornings. Do you want me to write that version too?
