Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Roll the biscuits into a snake shape.
- Dip the biscuit snake in melted butter and roll around your finger to coat.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar evenly over the coated biscuits.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract to the melted butter before coating the biscuits. You can also experiment with different types of sugar, such as brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor. If you don't have cinnamon sugar, simply mix equal parts ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Using a biscuit cutter can help create more uniform shapes for even baking.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon rolls are delightful when served warm, drizzled with a simple icing made of powdered sugar and milk. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast or snack. For a complete breakfast, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs or bacon. They also complement dishes like Oatmeal Apple Pudding for a sweet ending.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until heated through.
