Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Rolling pin
- Pastry brush
- 9 x 13-inch baking pan
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Dental floss or a sharp knife for slicing
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Bisquick
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, milk, and egg using a fork. Mix until just combined to form a dough.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter and stir to moisten. Set aside.
4. Generously flour your rolling surface and your hands. Turn the dough out onto the surface and pat it into a rectangular shape.
5. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Avoid over-rolling to prevent sticking.
6. Pour 3/4 cup of melted butter over the dough and spread it evenly with a pastry brush, reaching all the edges.
7. Sprinkle the sugar and nut mixture over the buttered dough.
8. Roll the dough from the long end, then slice into 1 to 1/2 inch slices. Use dental floss for a clean cut.
9. Transfer the slices to a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Use a spatula to help place them.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are just golden brown.
11. Allow the rolls to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
12. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to your desired consistency and drizzle over the top of the rolls.
Tips for Success
Flour your surface well to prevent the dough from sticking. Use dental floss to slice the rolls smoothly without squishing them. Ensure your butter is properly melted and cooled before using it in the recipe.
Additional Tips or Variations
Feel free to experiment by adding raisins or substituting walnuts or pecans for the nuts. For a citrusy twist, add some orange zest to the sugar mixture.
