- Spread 1 tablespoon of cinnamon-sugar mixture on each flat biscuit.
- Place a pat of butter on top of the cinnamon-sugar.
- Gather biscuit edges, pinch together, and mash down in the middle to seal.
- Place the prepared biscuits in a 13 x 9-inch glass dish.
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon-sugar in the pan and dot with remaining butter.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you prefer a less sweet roll, reduce the sugar by half. Ensure the butter is softened for easy spreading, and you can use any type of milk if Pet milk isn’t available. For a fun twist, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cinnamon butter rolls warm, drizzled with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea and make a delightful breakfast or brunch option. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside scrambled eggs or fresh fruit.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warm. Adding a splash of milk before reheating helps maintain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of canned?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuits will add a personal touch to your rolls. Just ensure they're rolled thin enough to hold the cinnamon-sugar mixture and butter. Bake according to your homemade biscuit recipe’s instructions for best results.
What if I don't have Pet milk?
If Pet milk is unavailable, you can substitute with any evaporated milk or regular milk. For a creamier texture, mix whole milk with a bit of cream. Adjust the amount based on your desired consistency after baking.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown and have risen nicely. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overbaking.
