Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Bisquick (for the dough base)
- 1/2 cup yellow cake mix (adds sweetness and softness)
- 2 packets quick-rise yeast (helps the dough rise quickly)
- 1 tsp salt (balances the sweetness)
- 2 cups warm water (105-115°F, activates the yeast)
- 1 cup Bisquick (as needed, for kneading)
- 2 tbsp butter, softened (for the filling)
- 1/2 cup sugar (for the filling)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (for the filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix 3 cups Bisquick, cake mix, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and stir until combined. Add up to 1 cup of additional Bisquick as needed to form a soft dough.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a 9×18-inch rectangle.
- Add the Filling: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the buttered dough.
- Roll and Slice: Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Pinch the edges to seal. Cut the log into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet.
- Bake: Place the cinnamon rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite frosting or glaze if desired.
