Jumer Hotel Rest Rolls
Sweet cinnamon rolls with a soft bisquick dough, brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, perfect for breakfast or a cozy dessert treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve dry yeast in 3/4 cup warm water and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Stir Bisquick and dissolved yeast together to form dough.
- Roll dough out to an 18 x 26-inch rectangle.
- Brush the dough with melted butter.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar evenly over the buttered surface.
- Cut the dough crosswise into four equal strips.
- Roll each strip from the long side to form a log.
- Place the rolls in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Snip each roll almost through at intervals using scissors to create a fluted effect.
- Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- If not browned enough, bake 2 minutes under the broiler.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating a sprinkle of nutmeg or using brown sugar instead of white in the filling. If you don't have Bisquick on hand, you can use a homemade biscuit mix by combining flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. A quick proofing step can help achieve a better rise.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or brunch. Consider serving them warm with a side of fruit preserves or butter for an added touch. They also make a delightful dessert when served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream, complementing favorites like Festival Pound Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. When ready to enjoy, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, or microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Bisquick?
Yes, while Bisquick provides convenience, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour combined with baking powder and salt in the right proportions. This will give you the same fluffy texture in your rolls, allowing for a homemade touch.
What can I do if my dough isn't rising?
If your dough isn't rising, it may be due to inactive yeast or water that was too hot. Always check the expiration date on your yeast and ensure the water is warm to the touch (about 110°F). Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for the best results.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
Enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough or incorporating spices like cinnamon and nutmeg into the mix. You can also experiment with a cream cheese filling or a glaze on top after baking for a sweet finish.
