Adirondack Sweet Rolls(Method: Skillet)
Sweet, cinnamon-spiced skillet rolls with berries and a sugary icing, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch that appeals to all ages and tastes.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick, 1/4 cup sugar, and water to make a firm dough. Pat out an inch or less thick.
- Cover dough with remaining 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, berries, and some melted butter.
- Roll into a slab and slice into cylinders 3/4-inch thick.
- Fry in a greased skillet with butter until golden brown on all sides.
- Mix powdered sugar with melted butter to make an icing and drop onto the cooked sweet rolls.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful dough, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg. If you're out of Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, and salt. Fresh or frozen berries work well, but make sure to drain excess moisture from frozen berries to avoid sogginess. Adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Adirondack Sweet Rolls warm, drizzled with the icing for a delightful breakfast or dessert. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside Nanny'S Potato Salad for a unique brunch spread. A warm cup of coffee or tea complements this dish perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sweet rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply place them in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until warm. This keeps them soft and delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Bisquick?
Yes, you can substitute Bisquick with a homemade baking mix made from all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will give you a similar texture, but you may need to adjust the liquid slightly to achieve the right dough consistency.
How can I make these sweet rolls healthier?
To create a healthier version, you can use whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick and reduce the sugar content. Additionally, you can replace butter with coconut oil or use a light butter spread. Incorporating more berries can also boost the nutritional value while adding natural sweetness.
Can I make these sweet rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and roll it into cylinders the night before, then refrigerate them. In the morning, simply fry them directly from the fridge. This saves time and allows you to enjoy freshly made rolls with minimal effort.
