Ingredients
- 2 cups Jiffy baking mix
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Jiffy baking mix and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it a few times to form a smooth ball.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush melted butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the melted butter, followed by the ground cinnamon.
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Cut the log into 1 1/2-inch thick slices and place them in the greased baking dish, cut side up.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
