Cinnamon Roll Biscuits

  I don’t make cinnamon rolls very often because I feel like they’re complicated and take a lot of effort. Then last week while I was reading an old Christmas cookbook I saw a recipe for cinnamon rolls made from biscuit dough! I had personally never hear of this before, but I decided I was going to give it a try since I really enjoy making homemade biscuits.

  The next time I made up a batch of my Southern-Style Biscuits I doubled the recipe and whipped up a batch of these WONDERFUL Cinnamon Roll Biscuits. I’m really glad that I decided to make them because they turned out SOOO good and I feel like they’re easier to make than the traditional yeast cinnamon rolls. My husband also LOVED them and has already requested that I make them again. I’ve already decided that I will be adding this to my regular recipe file and I hope you will give them a try because I know you will love them too. Enjoy!

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Biscuits:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Make one batch Southern Style Biscuit dough.

Roll dough out on floured surface in a rectangle to 1/2 in. thickness.

Sprinkle with butter, sugar and cinnamon.

Roll dough lengthwise (aka roll the long end).

Slice into 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Place on greased baking dish and bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown on top.

While rolls are baking, mix up glaze in a bowl.

Allow rolls to cool and drizzle with glaze.
