Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls

Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls have all the delicious flavor as a regular cinnamon roll, without yeast or rise time. And the biscuit dough gives you a nice flaky texture.

Why You Will Love This Recipe

If you love fresh homemade cinnamon rolls, bur don’t want to work with yeast or have the time to let them rise, this is the perfect recipe for you. And the biscuit dough makes for a denser, flakier texture. You will love this combination.

Ingredients

You probably have all of these ingredients in your kitchen already! I used my favorite biscuit dough recipe,  what I consider to be the very BEST biscuits!

• flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• salt
• sugar
• brown sugar
• powdered sugar
• cinnamon
• sour cream
• butter
• vanilla
• milk or half and half

How to Make Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls

I mix up the dough in my food processor and then knead it a few times on the counter.  You need a big food processor, 7 cups or larger, because it totally fills it!  If you don’t have a food processor you can mix it up by hand and just build some muscle!

• Combine dry ingredients in your food processor.
• Pulse until butter is small and well blended pieces.
• Add in the sour cream and water and mix well.
• Knead a few times on the counter and roll out to 1 inch thick

• Divided the dough into two parts and rolled each one out so that it was about 9 x 12 inches.

• Brush with melted butter and add the cinnamon sugar mixture.

• Roll the dough up and use a serrated knife to cut it into 8 pieces. This recipe make 16 cinnamon rolls.

• Place them on a parchment covered cookie sheet.

• Bake at 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes.

After they are baked lather them up with some homemade frosting.
