Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup icing (from the cinnamon roll can)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp melted butter, and 1/2 cup icing that comes with the cinnamon roll can.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly blended.
- Take the can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and carefully open it. Remove the rolls and set aside the icing for later use.
- Unroll each cinnamon roll dough piece and brush the melted butter over the top of each roll. This will help the sugar mixture adhere better.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered surface of each unrolled dough piece.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough back up to form a log. Repeat this process for all the cinnamon roll pieces.
- Once all the rolls are formed, cut them into halves or thirds to create smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, arrange the cut cinnamon rolls in a single layer, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the top of the arranged cinnamon rolls for added flavor and moisture.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll can over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
- Serve the cinnamon rolls warm directly from the skillet, and enjoy your delicious treat!
Tips
- • Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat distribution and crispy edges • Don't overmix the cinnamon-sugar mixture to keep the texture light and fluffy • Brush the rolls with melted butter generously for a rich, golden-brown finish • Let the rolls cool for just a few minutes before adding icing to prevent it from melting completely • For extra decadence, sprinkle chopped nuts or add a splash of vanilla to your brown sugar mixture • Serve immediately for the most gooey, warm experience possible
