Thursday: Cinnamon Rolls

Last recipe post, I promise! Well, at least for today anyways!

My brother Justin got recipe from his friend for homemade cinnamon rolls so we decided to try them out this morning. Justin and Michael spent the night at our house last night. We got home pretty late after Vacation Bible School. By the time we had eaten a snack (I made popcorn, the boys reheated leftover enchiladas) Zach arrived home! Yay! He's been gone for what seems like forever. Okay, only two days but it seemed longer. We all put on pajamas and cozied up on the couches to watch August Rush. I've owned the movie for over two years and have never watched it until last night. It was pretty good but the ending was not what I had hoped for... however, the music throughout the movie kinda made up for it. The movie got over around 12:45AM so we all went to bed. Poor Zach had to get up and go to work this morning after being up late! :( I'm proud of him for going even though he really didn't want to today.

Anywhooooos, here's the cinnamon rolls. They were SCRUMPTIOUS! Justin said he didn't want to eat it because it looked too good! He got over that real quick!

HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS

Ingredients:
2 c. Bisquick
2/3 c. milk
2 TBSP butter, melted
cinnamon
sugar

Combine Bisquick and milk to make dough. Add more Bisquick if necessary until the dough is barely sticky. Spray an open counter space with nonstick spray and press out dough by hand until approx. 1/4 to 1/2-in thick. It all depends on how thick you want your rolls.

Brush dough with melted butter.

Cover with cinnamon. Literally. So you can't see the dough. Sprinkle sugar on top of the cinnamon. We didn't measure (do I ever?) but guessed it to be about 2-3 TBSP.

Cut dough into 1 1/2 to 2-in strips. Again, this is an estimation.

I used 3 fingers as a measuring device...

Grease an 8-in round cake pan. Roll strips and place in pan.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until tops are light brown. Top with icing, frosting, whatever sweet thing you please. We took the icing out of a store bought tube of cinnamon rolls I had in the fridge....


Makes: about 6 rolls
