Best Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls

 

 

Sometimes you just crave a Cinnamon roll, but you have neither the inclination nor the time to take the traditional yeast bread route.  That's when a recipe such as this one for these delicious melt-in-the-mouth Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls comes in very handy!

These delicious rolls leave everyone wanting more, and you won't mind a bit because they are so quick and easy to make!

  

This is the perfect recipe to whip up at the weekend, especially a holiday weekend when you have loads of people about and nipping at your heels for something tasty to enjoy with their morning cup of java!

These fit the bill perfectly because not only are they quick and easy to make, but they are delicious!  They literally do melt in the mouth! 

 

When we were growing up, we never had any such thing as a yeasted Cinnamon roll in our house. My mother always made them with biscuit dough. That is what I grew up with and what my children grew up with.

I never knew there was any other kind. Truth be told I enjoy this type of Cinnamon roll much more than the traditional ones. I suppose it is all in what you are used to!

 

This particular version is loaded with plenty of rich buttery cinnamon flavor with a filling made from ground cinnamon, butter, brown sugar and vanilla.

The dough itself is merely Bisquick baking mix, sugar and milk.  Where these differ from other cinnamon rolls of the same ilk however is that some warm milk gets poured over them just prior to baking. 

This makes for a really rich and fluffy/moist cinnamon roll!

 

If you are in the UK you may not be familiar with Bisquick baking mix.  This is a type of biscuit/scone mix that you can buy in the shops and use to make quick and easy biscuits/scones/pancakes.

It may not be readily available in the UK, but never fear, I had a fabulous recipe to make your own baking mix here. You will find it comes in handy for all sorts!

 

It comes in very handy for all sorts of quick and easy dishes, both savory and sweet. I enjoy using it to make my Raspberry Peek-a-Boos. (A delicious raspberry muffin cup type of dessert.)

It is also an integral ingredient in my (4-ingredient) Easy 7-Up biscuits/scones.  

It also makes a great topping for meat pies and casserole, etc. and of course these fabulously delicious melt-in-the-mouth Cinnamon Rolls.

 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE BISQUICK CINNAMON ROLLS

Other than the baking mix everything is pretty straight forward.

For the cinnamon filling:

• 1/3 cup (80g) butter at room temperature
• 1/3 cup (75g) soft light brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the rolls:

• 3 cups (360g) Bisquick baking mix (see note)
• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

soaking liquid:

• 1/3 cup (80ml) warm milk

To glaze:

• 1 cup (130g) icing sugar
• 2 TBS milk

 

I use regular salted butter in these and full fat milk.  For the cinnamon sugar filling you want your butter to be at room temperature so that you can mix it together easily with the other ingredients.

I always use pure Vanilla Extract.  There is just no comparison between the artificial one and the real thing. The real thing is always better. 

 

HOW TO MAKE BISQUICK CINNAMON ROLLS

These are so easy to make, almost instant in comparison to the yeast variety.

Preheat the oven to 375*F/190*C/ gas mark 5. Butter an 8-inch square baking tin very well. Set aside.

Beat all of the ingredients for the cinnamon filling together until light and well combined. Set aside.

Measure the baking mix into the bowl. Whisk in the sugar. Add the milk and mix together to a soft dough.

  

Roll the dough out to an 8" by 18" rectangle on a lightly floured surface using a lightly floured rolling pin. Spread the Cinnamon Filling evenly over top. Roll up tightly from short end to short end. Cut into 9 (2-inch) slices.

Place the slices into the prepared baking tin, leaving space in between each roll.

Warm the milk in the microwave for 15 seconds and then pout over top of the cinnamon rolls in the pan.

 

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and each roll is cooked through, including the center roll.

While the rolls are baking whisk together the sugar and milk to make the glaze.

Remove the cooked rolls from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Spread the glaze over the hot rolls to cover. Serve warm.

 

I think you will find that these are really delicious.  They almost melt in the mouth, with that beautifully textured roll, to the rich and buttery filling and that sweet glaze is just the perfect finishing touch.

These would be great any time but might come in especially handy during the holidays when you are wanting to have something quick and easy up your sleeve!

If you are wanting to go the more traditional route you may like my Small Batch Yeasted Cinnamon Rolls. The recipe makes exactly six  beautiful, puffy, soft and incredibly tasty rolls.

I also have a great recipe on here for Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls made using the Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls you can buy at the shops! That one is also quick, easy and delicious.
