Homemade Cinnamon Rolls using Biscuits – filled with cinnamon, sugar and pecans, you’ll never believe these rolls start out with a refrigerator biscuit!
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.
Melt the butter and brush it all over the surface of the rolled out refrigerator rolls. Then sprinkle on the brown sugar/cinnamon filling followed by the chopped pecans.
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. The dough will be soft, so be careful while rolling.
Using a serrated knife make a slice every 1 ½ inches up the cylinder. You should get 12 cinnamon rolls.
Place the cinnamon rolls in the muffin pan that’s been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 12 – 15 minutes or until the rolls are slightly browned.
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.
Notes
Refrigerated biscuit dough is very soft, so be careful rolling it up. If the dough does happen to tear, just pinch the pieces together.
