Quick and indulgent caramel rolls made in the microwave, featuring a rich brown sugar and nut topping that pairs perfectly with flaky biscuit pieces, ideal for a sweet treat any time.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, butter, and water in a 1-quart glass casserole. Microwave for about 2 minutes or until butter is melted.
- Stir in chopped nuts if using.
- Separate biscuits and cut each into quarters.
- Add biscuit pieces to the sugar mixture and stir to coat.
- Push the coated biscuits and mixture away from the center of the casserole and place a custard cup, open end up, in the center.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown. If you don't have butter, margarine can be a suitable substitute. To make it quicker, pre-chop your nuts before starting the recipe. If you want to experiment, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the sugar mixture for extra warmth. This dish is also great as a breakfast item paired with a side of fresh fruit or a warm beverage.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these caramel rolls warm for the best experience. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a complete breakfast, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad. You can also drizzle them with a bit of Microwave Lemon Butter Sauce for a zesty twist that complements the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover caramel rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warmed through. If you prefer a crispy texture, you can pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to regain some crunch.
