Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cut in Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and granulated sugar. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

  2. 5

    Spread Butter

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.

  3. 6

    Add Cinnamon Sugar

    Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Baking

  1. 7

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.

  2. 8

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, making sure they are touching each other. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 9

    Bake

    Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Icing Preparation

  1. 10

    Make Icing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  2. 11

    Drizzle Icing

    Once the biscuits are out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the warm rolls before serving.
