Bisquick Recipes: 20 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls–I don’t believe I know one person who doesn’t love them, but they are probably one of the more seldom made homemade baked goods. I get it. Making cinnamon rolls is a bit of a commitment, and quite often we just don’t have the time (we are NOT counting the pop-the-can variety, here 😉 ).

Yeast cinnamon rolls, while one of my absolute favorites in the world, just don’t always fit into our schedules. But THESE cinnamon rolls certainly will and they’re a very fair substitute. We’re talking BASIC ingredients (remember that all purpose baking mix?), a few minutes to mix and roll, and 12 minutes to bake. You’ll be quite happy with the results, I promise.

Baking Mix Cinnamon Rolls

https://thehomemadehomestead.com/?p=50In case you didn’t take my hint, you’re going to want to go grab that homemade Bisquick we talked about a few days back. If you don’t have it, don’t worry. You probably even have all the ingredients and time to make the homemade Bisquick recipe, too! However, this recipe also works with any all-purpose baking mix or Bisquick, Jiffy mix, biscuit mix, etc. I did use the mix linked above, though.

These easy cinnamon rolls are very simple to make with minimal time and ingredients. Here’s how:

20 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 4 Cups Baking Mix (All purpose like homemade Bisquick mix)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/4 Cups Milk
  • Soft (spreadable) butter
  • Cinnamon Sugar

-Combine the baking mix, eggs, and milk and mix through.

-Dust cutting board with a bit of additional baking mix or flour and knead 6-8 times (I actually do this on a cookie sheet I keep for such things–contain the mess, save time!).

-Press (or roll) dough out to about 8 x 15, or 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.

-Spread dough with softened butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (I like a heavy cinnamon flavor, so I often dust the sugar with more plain cinnamon).

-Roll the dough, starting with the longest edge (when finished you should have one long “tube” of cinnamon roll, about 15 inches long).

-Cut into 1-inch slices and place on lightly greased cookie sheet (or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet).

– Bake at 425 F for about 12 minutes.

-Makes about 15 cinnamon rolls.

While baking, mix a quick glaze for the top.

For the glaze:

  • 1 Cup Confectioner’s Sugar
  • 1 splash Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon? To taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk

Simply mix ingredients together to a pourable consistency, adding more or less milk as needed. Drizzle over hot rolls when they come out of the oven.

Enjoy!

That’s it. That’s all there is to it. Whip them up in the morning while the sleepy-heads are in bed and they’ll think you slaved for them all the wee hours.
