Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Great For Breakfast Or A Snack

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup milk

Filling

  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Frosting

  • 3 ounces softened cream cheese,
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in food processor bowl or do it by hand with a pastry cutter. Cut in butter until crumbly. Whisk egg and milk together. Add all at once to the dry ingredients and whirl briefly to combine. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll or pat into a 9 or 10 inch square. Cover with a damp towel until ready to spread on the filling.

Combine the ingredients for the filling in a small mixing bowl or food processor set on a low speed for a few seconds.

Spread filling over and roll up like a jelly roll. Cut into 12 slices.

Arrange rolls in a greased 9 inch square baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack for about 25 minutes.

When these are cooled a bit, they should still be slightly warm, then frost them. Serve within a day, preferably within an hour.
