### How to Make Delicious Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls: A Step-by-Step Guide
Bisquick cinnamon rolls are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed any time of year. With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create these sweet, fluffy rolls in your own kitchen. Follow this detailed guide for the perfect batch.
#### Ingredients:
- 1 package (12.5 oz) refrigerated Bisquick Plus
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
#### Equipment:
- Mixing bowls
- Rolling pin or baking sheet
- Parchment paper or wax paper
- Baking sheets
### Step-by-Step Instructions:
#### Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. **Preheat Oven and Line Sheets**: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients**: In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick Plus mix according to package instructions for dough preparation.
#### Step 2: Mix Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture
3. **Combine Butter and Sugar**: In another small mixing bowl, soften one-quarter cup of unsalted butter in your microwave or on the counter until it’s soft enough to spread. Add one-third cup packed brown sugar and mix well.
4. **Add Cinnamon**: Stir in one teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the butter-sugar mixture.
#### Step 3: Form the Rolls
5. **Form a Log**: Pour half of the Bisquick dough onto a floured surface. Roll it out until it’s about 1/2 inch thick and rectangular.
6. **Apply Filling**: Spread one-half of the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. **Roll Up**: Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough like a jellyroll.
#### Step 4: Cut and Bake
8. **Cut into Rolls**: Use a sharp knife to cut the log crosswise into 12-15 slices.
9. **Arrange on Baking Sheets**: Place the cinnamon rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them out slightly.
10. **Second Batch**: Repeat steps 5 through 9 with the remaining dough and filling.
#### Step 5: Bake
11. **Bake Until Golden Brown**: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
12. **Cool Slightly**: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
#### Step 6: Serve
13. **Serve Warm with Confectioners' Sugar**: If desired, dust the cinnamon rolls with confectioners’ sugar just before serving to enhance their sweetness.
### Tips for Success:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Work quickly when rolling and cutting to avoid the dough from drying out.
- Use a sharp knife for clean cuts; a serrated knife is perfect for this task.
