Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 oz/454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (Pillsbury Grands)
- 3 tbsps butter, melted
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps milk (or heavy cream)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and generously grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, ensuring a smooth baking experience.
- Filling Creation: Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla in a bowl, mixing thoroughly to develop a rich, aromatic blend that will infuse the rolls with intense flavor.
- Dough Transformation: Gently roll out biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface, stretching and shaping into a rectangular form with smooth, even movements.
- Flavor Layering: Brush the entire dough surface with melted butter, creating a luxurious foundation that will enhance the rolls’ richness and texture.
- Sugar Infusion: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the buttered dough, ensuring a consistent distribution of sweet and spicy notes.
- Rolling and Positioning: Carefully roll the dough into a tight cylindrical shape, pinching the seam to seal the filling, then slice into individual rolls and arrange them closely in the prepared baking dish.
- Baking Process: Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven, allowing the rolls to bake until they transform into a gloriously golden-brown masterpiece, typically requiring 18-20 minutes of precise cooking time.
- Icing Finale: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create a silky smooth icing that will crown these delectable rolls with a perfect sweet finish.
- Serving: Drizzle the creamy icing over the warm rolls, letting it cascade beautifully and create an irresistible presentation that promises pure culinary delight.
Notes
- Prevent Dough Stickiness: Dust work surface and rolling pin with flour to stop biscuit dough from clinging and tearing during shaping.
- Manage Sugar Distribution: Spread cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across buttered dough to ensure consistent sweetness in every roll slice.
- Control Baking Temperature: Check oven accuracy with a thermometer to guarantee precise 350F heat, preventing under or over-baking of rolls.
- Optimize Roll Technique: Roll dough tightly but gently, avoiding excessive pressure that could compress the delicate biscuit texture and create dense rolls.
