Jumer-Like Cinnamon Rolls
Delicious cinnamon rolls with a soft, flaky texture and rich cinnamon-sugar filling, perfect for breakfast or brunch, appealing to both kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick, water, and softened yeast to form dough.
- Roll half of the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Spread soft butter over the rolled dough, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough like a jelly roll, stretching it while rolling.
- Cut the rolled dough into tiny rolls.
- Dip each roll in melted butter and cinnamon again before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract to the melted butter. If you don't have yeast, baking powder can be used as a substitute, though the texture will differ. For a twist, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar for a deeper caramel flavor. Be careful not to overwork the dough to maintain its lightness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful cinnamon rolls warm, drizzled with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk for an extra treat. They pair wonderfully with a hot cup of Amaretto Coffee or a fresh fruit salad for a well-rounded breakfast or brunch. For a heartier meal, serve alongside Virginia's Zucchini Soup for a cozy gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them 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 until heated through. This will help maintain their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the point before baking. Simply cover them tightly and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing them in the oven.
What can I substitute for Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick on hand, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of shortening or butter. This will yield a similar texture and flavor for your cinnamon rolls.
How do I prevent the rolls from getting too dry?
To keep the cinnamon rolls moist, ensure that you do not overbake them. Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time. Additionally, brushing melted butter on top right after baking can add moisture and enhance flavor.
