• Refrigerator Biscuits
• Butter
• Sugar
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla Extract
• Powdered Sugar
• Milk
• Chopped Pecans

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Open the cans of biscuits and separate them. Begin placing them on piece of parchment paper overlapping them slightly. Using a rolling pin roll them out flat into a rectangle shape.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

Melt the butter and brush it all over the surface of the refrigerator rolls. Then sprinkle on the brown sugar/cinnamon filling followed by the chopped pecans.

Step 3: Roll up the Dough

• Beginning at the edge closest to you, start rolling up the dough into a tight cylinder.
• Press the seam tightly making sure it’s sealed so nothing leaks out while baking.

Step 4: Slice the Cinnamon Rolls

• Using a serrated knife make a slice every 1 ½ inches up the cylinder.
• You should get 12 cinnamon rolls.

Step 5: Place the Rolls in Muffin Pan

• Place the cinnamon rolls in the muffin pan that's been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

Step 4: Baking Instructions

• Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 12 - 15 minutes or until the rolls are slightly browned.
• Remember, all ovens are different. My cinnamon rolls were ready in 13 minutes.

Step 5: Add the Glaze

• Transfer the rolls to a baking tray to cool while you prepare the glaze.
• Combine the ingredients for the glaze and slowly pour over the slightly cooled cinnamon rolls.
• Top with a few more chopped pecans if desired.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
