Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
- 1 1/3 cups milk ⓘ

Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cinnamon roll, consider adding 1/4 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough. If you don't have biscuit mix on hand, you can use Helen'S From Scratch Pancake Mix as a substitute. Kneading the dough lightly is important to keep the rolls tender. Don't overwork the dough, and make sure to keep your surface floured to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cinnamon rolls warm, drizzled with a simple icing made of powdered sugar and milk. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a complete breakfast, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs or bacon. You can also try them with fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze cinnamon rolls?
Yes, you can freeze cinnamon rolls either before or after baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil for best results. They can be frozen for up to three months. To bake from frozen, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking as usual.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the dough. You can also mix in raisins or nuts, such as Martha'S Special Pecans, for added texture. Cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top before baking can also provide an extra layer of sweetness.
What can I use instead of milk in this recipe?
If you need a dairy-free option, almond milk or oat milk can be excellent substitutes. For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk. If you have a nut allergy, coconut milk is another good alternative that will keep the dough moist and flavorful.
