Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls

Is there anything better than breakfast on Christmas morning? I love Christmas breakfast. Actually, to be perfectly honest I love breakfast in general. It's really the only meal that you can have something that is pretty much a dessert and call it substantial. 

One of my favorite breakfast foods that are more like dessert are cinnamon rolls. And this recipe is quick and simple. The cinnamon roll texture kind of reminds me of a Bo' Berry Biscuit if it were cinnamon instead of blueberry. If you haven't ever had a Bo' Berry I recommend you find the closest Bojangles and pick one up ASAP. While you're there send me some. I miss those chicken biscuits like nobody's business!

The Amazing Bojangles Bo' Berry Biscuit

Okay enough food-porn lets get started on the cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Bisquick

2/3 Cup Milk

2 Tbs Butter

1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar + A little extra

1 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon + A little extra

This recipe is super simple. Really all you have to do is...

Heat oven to 425 degrees and grease a pie pan. 

Mix the 2 cups of Bisquick with 2/3 cup milk until it is thoroughly mixed and forms a sticky dough.

Throw the ball of sticky dough on a lightly floured surface. 

Roll the dough out using a roll pin dusted in flour or your hands into a rectangle.

Slather the 2 tbs of butter onto one half of the rectangle. Then sprinkle the light brown sugar and cinnamon over the buttered side.

Starting from the side that is covered in sugar and butter roll the dough into a log. So basically, I started rolling my dough from Right to Left.

Then, cut the dough into 1 inch slices.

Place the slices in the greased pie pan and sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar and cinnamon.

Pop it in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until the sugar is melted and the tops are slightly golden. 

Frosting or Glaze ingredients:

1 Cup Sugar or Powdered Sugar

1/2 Tbs Butter

1 Tbs Cream Cheese

1/2 Tsp Vanilla 

Splash of Milk

In a blender throw in the cup of sugar and pulse until it becomes a fine powder. (Or you could just use powdered sugar. I just don't really care for the taste of powered sugar. I can't be the only one who thinks it taste funny.  )

Now that the sugar is a powder add the 12 Tbs butter, 1 Tbs cream cheese, 1/2 Tsp vanilla, and the splash of milk. Pulse until it is smooth and creamy.

 Drizzle the frosting on top of the cinnamon rolls. You can choose to either eat them as is or pop them back in the oven and let the glaze melt a little bit. I typically pop them back in for a minute or two so that they are extra gooey.
