Quick Cinnamon Rolls

The sun rarely shines where I live... forgive my weird food photos. I'm looking forward to summer!

There are days when I crave homemade cinnamon rolls, but don't have the time to wait a million hours for them to rise. This inspired me to make my own easy recipe using just a couple ingredients. Enjoy!

Dough (I started with the Bisquick Shortcake recipe and made a couple changes)

What you need:

2 1/3 c. Bisquick Mix

1/2 c. milk

2 1/2 TBS Sugar

3 TBS Butter (melted)

1 tsp Cinnamon

Filling:

3 TBS Butter (Softened)

1/2 c. Brown Sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese

1/4 c. butter softened

1 c. powdered sugar

1 1/2 tsp. milk

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 425 F

What you do:

1. Mix all the ingredients for the dough together in a large mixing bowl.

2. Flour a large surface and roll dough evenly (about 1/4 inch thick)

3. Spread the 3 tablespoons of butter all around the top of the dough

4. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling; sprinkle evenly on the buttered dough (Mmmm... buttered dough... doesn't that sound good?!)

5. Roll into a big log (Like you did when you played with play-dough)

6. Slice into 1 inch pieces (They're starting to look like cinnamon rolls, right?)

7. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes (make the frosting now)

9. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the frosting.

When it's all done, frost the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

I liked these even better cold on the next day. I'm weird like that!
