Calories 27kcal
Ingredients
- 1 container 16.3oz Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits (I used Pillsbury)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- Butter or Margarine softened
- Ingredients for Icing:
- 1 Cup Confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
- Open the biscuit can and separate 2 at a time.
- With 2 biscuits together, press down on the very lightly floured surface, with your palm to flatten. With a rolling pin, roll out to a circle approximately 5x7 in diameter. It does not have to be perfect.
- Spread butter or margarine on pastry round.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp. of the cinnamon/sugar mixture making sure to cover the entire surface-right to the edges
- Roll as tightly as possible. Slice in ½ inch segments, placing cut side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes, or until slightly brown.
- Cool for 1 minute and frost with Icing if desired.
Notes
Icing:
1 Cup Confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 TBSP Milk
Mix all together in bowl. If too thick, add milk 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency.
Variation
I also tried making braided cinnamon sticks! Follow same instructions as above for Cinni-Mini Rolls, with these changes:
Using 1 biscuit round, roll out to a 5x7 square. Spread with butter or margarine and top with cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Cut into 3 equal strips.
Roll long side into a rope, repeat with 2 other sections. Pinch the top of all three ropes together and carefully braid.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 11 minutes.
Makes 8 braided sticks.
