Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces) crescent roll dough or buttermilk biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Open the can of crescent roll dough or buttermilk biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a lightly floured surface and roll each biscuit out into a 4-inch circle.
2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
- Brush the melted butter onto each rolled-out biscuit.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered biscuits.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts and raisins onto the cinnamon sugar mixture.
4. Roll and Place the Rolls:
- Starting from one end, roll each biscuit up tightly into a log.
- Place the rolls seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
5. Bake the Rolls:
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature with your favorite dishes.
Tips for Perfect Dinner Rolls:
- For a softer texture, use buttermilk biscuit dough instead of crescent roll dough.
- Don’t over-roll the biscuits. Roll them out just enough to form a 4-inch circle.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the biscuits.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously. Don’t be afraid to add more if desired.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. This ensures that they are fully cooked and have a slightly crispy exterior.
Variations:
- Savory Rolls: Instead of the cinnamon sugar mixture, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley onto the melted butter.
- Sweet Rolls: Add a dollop of your favorite jam or jelly to the center of each rolled-up biscuit before baking.
- Herb Rolls: Mix chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano, into the melted butter before brushing it onto the biscuits.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve dinner rolls with soups, stews, and casseroles.
- Enjoy rolls with a side of butter, honey, or jam.
- Use rolls to make sandwiches or sliders.
- Toast rolls and serve them with your favorite toppings, such as eggs, avocado, or smoked salmon.
