These are TO-DIE-FOR!!! Oh my goodness, I can't even explain how delicious these are and how bad I want you all to make them and be in heaven like I was!! I LOVE cinnamon rolls, but I don't get to make them very often, because they take forever, they make a ton and honestly, I only like cinnamon rolls the day they are made? I'm kinda a cinnamon roll snob like that.
These biscuit-type cinnamon rolls are perfect for me, because:
1. They don't have eggs, so I can cut the recipe back as much as I want!
2. I can make them right when I get a craving, because there is no wait time required! Or whip together for unexpected company.
3. They TASTE GREAT THE NEXT DAY!! I LOVED THEM!
They have the best texture and they are very moist, not dry at all. To make them even better, I topped them with a vanilla bean glaze - oh my - Is your mouth watering yet? MAKE THESE RIGHT NOW!
Quick Biscuit Style Cinnamon Rolls
adapted from: Evil Shenanigans
2 Tbl. packed light brown sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Tbl. unsalted butter, divided
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. whole milk
Filling:
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 Tbl. butter, melted
Vanilla Glaze:
1 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 Tbl. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste)
1 c. powdered sugar
milk, if needed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Whisk together the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Dice 2 Tbl. of the butter and rub into flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand (I used my pastry cutter). Melt remaining 4 Tbl. butter and combine with sour cream and milk. Pour into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (I had to add a little more milk, because my mixture was too dry). Lightly flour work surface. Roll out dough to 1/4'' - 1/2'' thickness. Combine filling ingredients to form a paste and spread over dough. Roll up tightly and slice into 1'' - 1 1/2'' slices. Place into greased pan. Leave a little room between them to allow to expand while cooking. Bake 20-25 minutes (mine took 24 min.) or until golden brown and puffed. Cool 5 minutes. Combine all glaze ingredients until smooth and spread over warm rolls. Now, take a bite of one and jump up and down with joy because they are soooo good!! People will think you slaved all day! Yield: around 8 rolls (I cut recipe in half and got 4 rolls).

Love cinnamon rolls & wish I could eat them more often. If it weren't for those dreaded calories :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy! I appreciate the step by step pictures too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a cinnamon roll snob too but these sound wonderful. I'm going to trust you and make them as soon as we get back home. (We're on vacation but I couldn't pass up this post!!!) They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried making cinnamon rolls but these sound and look so yummy!! (Found you via Homemaker on a Dime)
ReplyDeleteCinnamon rolls are so delicious, but so much work. These look super easy...can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on the vanilla extract recipe. Vanilla Products USA on EBay has one pound of extract beans for $25.95. You really feel the price gouge when 2 old beans in the store can cost almost half as much.
ReplyDeleteThose soft sugar cookies look yummy. I've been looking for a recipe similar to the Lofthouse Sugar Cookies that "melt in your mouth" as soon as I start baking again ( when it's cooler) I'll have to give them a try.
Oh my gosh - these look so good!! They are going on my pinboard right now!! Thanks so much for linking up again this week at Saturday Social! You're awesome girl!

These "rolls" bring back fond memories. These were my weekly treats when I was pregnant with my middle child. I was on a very restricted diet, but encouraged to eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING one day a week...then have my blood tested. I always stopped at my favorite dive for these luscious cinnamon biscuits. Mmmmm....my mouth is drooling!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I need to try this! I've never made real cinnamon rolls because it does sound labor intensive, lol. These are like a happy medium and if you say they're delicious then i believe ya! Will have to try them soon.
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmm. This is right up my alley! Thanks for posting :) You always have such great stuff :)
