Jiffy Cinnamon Rolls

Have you ever wanted cinnamon rolls but didn't have the time to make them? Well my husband found a recipe for no-yeast cinnamon rolls that don't require raising time. They are basically made with a biscuit type dough, so they don't have the same texture as a regular cinnamon roll, but they are still super good.





Here's the step by step: Start by combining butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in  a bowl.



Place 1 teaspoon in each muffin cup. Reserve the rest for filling.



Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until crumbly.



Add milk and stir.



Knead a few times on floured surface. {I had a little helper when I was making these and she decided to try the dough.}



Roll out dough.



Spread filling on top.



Roll up.



Cut into 12 cinnamon rolls. {My 2 year old had fun counting them}



Place in muffin tins.



Bake and turn out onto wire rack. I placed a pan under to catch drips.



Frost while still warm.



I think they are best when eaten warm from the oven.





Try them out and let me know what you think.
