Ingredients for this Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls
For the Dough:
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the Filling:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix together Bisquick, milk, and sugar until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 2: Roll and Fill
Roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 1/4 inch thick. Brush the surface with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Step 3: Roll and Slice
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a serrated knife or dental floss to slice into 8 even rolls.
Step 4: Bake
Place the rolls in a greased 9-inch round or square baking dish. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Glaze and Serve
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
