Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Mixing bowl
- Rolling pin
- Rectangular baking pan
- Knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Bisquick
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon + 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Frosting
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a rectangular pan to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the Bisquick, milk, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until a dough forms. Beat the mixture with 20 strokes.
- Place the dough on a surface sprinkled with Bisquick; roll it in the Bisquick to coat. Shape it into a ball and knead it 10 times.
- Roll or pat the dough into a 15×9-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough.
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough. Add raisins if you’re using them.
- Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the 15-inch side. Pinch the edge of the dough into the roll to seal it.
- Cut the roll into twelve 1 and 1/4-inch slices. Arrange them with the cut sides down in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-33 minutes until the rolls are golden brown. Let them cool slightly.
- Spread with frosting while they are still warm.
Tips for Success
Ensure your butter is softened for easy spreading. Don’t over-knead the dough to keep it light and fluffy. Use dental floss to slice the rolls cleanly if a knife squashes them.
Additional Tips or Variations
For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts along with the raisins. For a more decadent treat, add a splash of maple syrup to the frosting.
