Ingredients
Instructions
- Place biscuits in a pie dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake as directed on the can.
- While hot, glaze the biscuits with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk, then spread with melted margarine.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the icing. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works just as well. To save time, you can use pre-made icing instead of making your own with powdered sugar and milk. Make sure to sprinkle the cinnamon evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon rolls are perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch treat, and pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. You might also enjoy them alongside some fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced meal. For a delightful dessert, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of Brown Sugar Coconut Frosting for added sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply microwave them for about 10-15 seconds, or until warm. For a crispier texture, pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes. If you need to store them longer, consider refrigerating for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade dough instead of canned biscuits?
Yes, you can use homemade dough for a more personalized touch. Just roll out your dough, cut it into circles, and follow the same baking instructions. This will give you a fresher flavor and allow you to control the thickness of your rolls.
What can I do if I don't have powdered sugar?
If you don't have powdered sugar, you can make your own by blending granulated sugar in a blender until fine. Alternatively, you can use honey or maple syrup for the glaze, adjusting the quantity to achieve the desired sweetness and consistency.
Can I add fillings to the cinnamon rolls?
Absolutely! You can enhance the flavor by adding walnuts, raisins, or even chocolate chips before baking. Just sprinkle your desired fillings on top of the biscuits after adding the cinnamon, then proceed with the baking instructions. This will create a delicious variation of the classic recipe.
