Dough
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 2/3 cup milk (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
Filling
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- Prepare the Dough: Combine the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl, stirring gently until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Avoid over-mixing to keep your rolls tender.
- Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 9 inches. This shape makes rolling up the dough with filling much easier and uniform.
- Add the Filling: Brush softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon on top generously to create a gooey, sweet swirl inside the rolls.
- Roll Up and Slice: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1 to 1 ½ inch thick pieces, making sure they hold together well.
- Bake the Rolls: Arrange the slices in a greased baking pan, spaced slightly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk powdered sugar with vanilla extract and a splash of milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over warm rolls right out of the oven for a perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- Don’t overwork the dough: Mix until combined to keep the rolls soft and tender.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Ensure milk and eggs are not cold to help the dough come together smoothly.
- Roll tightly but gently: Prevents the filling from leaking but avoids compressing the dough too much.
- Space rolls slightly apart: Gives them room to expand and bake evenly for that perfect shape.
- Apply glaze while warm: So it melts into the rolls, adding moisture and sweetness.
- You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped rolls for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
- Reheat rolls in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
