Quick Cinnamon - Nut Rolls

"This recipe combines the simplicity of a baking powder biscuit, with the gooey deliciousness of a cinnamon roll. I have been known to double the topping! These rolls are on the smaller side - they will serve 4-6 depending on how much sweet you want."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, lightly spray or butter the bottom of a 8" or 9" cake round cake pan.
  • Rolls.
  • Put all the ingredients for the topping into the pan stir together and spread evenly over the pan, set aside.
  • Stir together dry ingredients, cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like fine granules, add the milk stirring with a fork until the dough comes together into a soft dough (add a touch more milk if needed).
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and give 10 kneads (You can refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes at this point if desired, wrap in plastic if doing so). Roll dough into a rectangle, about 16x12 inches.
  • Filling.
  • Brush dough with soft butter leaving a 1" border along one of the long edges. Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts, sprinkle over the buttered dough. Starting with the long, buttered edge closet to you, roll up jelly roll fashion, when you reach the other edge gently pinch the dough together sealing in the filling. Cut the dough into 16 slices, place them cut side down on top of the brown sugar mix in the pan, spacing slightly apart.
  • Bake 25 minutes, or until nicely browned. Invert immediately ontoa serving plate and remove pan (scrape any left behind goo, onto the rolls, then go put the pan in the sink, fill it with hot water to soak), cool rolls slightly and serve.

  1. Made for PRMR! Everyone loved these for breakfast today! Quick and easy to make. Absolutely delicious!!!! Thanks
     
  2. What a deliciously yummy recipe. It even worked with gluten free baking mix. I follolwed Annacia's lead and made half a recipe. The pan was lined with parchment paper and the rolls popped out. The parchment paper also made clean-up a breeze. We had a dinner for supper night and these went very well with Recipe #503238. Made and enjoyed for ZWT9 Family Picks.
     
  3. Delicious! Quick and easy to make, yummy to eat. I made them as written, using pecans and baked them in an 8" round baking dish for about 28 minutes. When serving, I cut the rolls into 4 portions (4 small rolls each), to serve 4 people. Everyone loved them! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made for ZWT9 Family Picks for The Apron String Travelers
     
  4. Super yummy! Buttery, sweet nuggets. Not a traditional yeast roll. I had almonds and they were good but walnuts would have been better. Made for ZWT9.
     
  5. I made a half recipe for DH and our lazy Sunday morning breakfast. I used ground pecans and he simply loved them. They made very nice biscuit rolls that rose nicely and looked lovely, easy and fun to make too. So glad that I tried these. :D
