Cinnamon Roll Pan Biscuits

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

Is it dessert? Or an indulgent breakfast? I came up with this as an answer to an overly complicated recipe that Backpacker did this week.

Cinnamon Roll Pan Biscuits

Pack in a sandwich bag:

• ½ cup Bisquick® baking mix or similar
• 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 Tbsp raisins
• 1 Tbsp dry milk
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Also take:

• 1 frosting tube, such as this or this
• 2 Tbsp or 2 packets vegetable oil

Directions:

Add ¼ cup cool water to biscuit mix bag. Knead gently or stir until a batter comes together.

Heat a non-stick skillet or wide/shallow pan over a very low flame. Add in 1 packet of oil, heat. Drop biscuit mix into 4 portions. Cook until golden, 4 to 5 minutes, lifting pan above flame as needed to prevent burning.

Drizzle on remaining oil over the tops, flip over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.

Serve with frosting on top.

Makes 4 biscuits, about 2 servings.

For some reason the http://www.trailcooking.com website comes up server not found. Is there an issue with the site or is it on my end?

[Ken Thompson]

Site works fine,now

[Ben H.]

These look good… but they also look like cinnamon pancakes with raisins and a poor excuse for maple syrup.

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

Hey Ben, hush you ;-)

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

It is fine now, I'll bet it was a server maintainice issue :-)

[Jim H]

They sure do look good.

On recent short overnight to the coast I brought a tube of the Pillsbury Cinnabon cinnamon rolls and steam-baked them (delicious). Not sure how long a tube would last out of the fridge though. Mine only had to last the few hours from car to camp.

Anyways, my original point was that these come with a nice little disposable packet of the cream cheese icing, if you don't want regular frosting. Next time I'll pilfer an couple icing packets and try out this recipe.

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

That'd be tasty as well :-)

Looks like a great breakfast. I know my boys would love that! I need to plan a trip now so we can try it out! Thanks for all of your recipes. I often share them with our Boy Scout Troop and several have become Troop staples on backpacking trips.

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

Thank you! :-)

[Eric Blumensaadt]

Sarah, thanks you so much for alerting us to the frosting tubes.

Now I'll just get those and forget the rolls. I can "administer" frosting directly from the tube to my mouth. Kinda like putting a Reddi Whip nozzle in you mouth! Ooooeeee! Sugar high (and crash) here we come.

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

Lol..they even sell frosting in metal cans now, kind of like squeeze cheeze.

Hehehe…….

@Sarah:

Thanks for sharing this. Sounds delicious. Any reason we couldn't just mix this up and bake it as a giant cinnamon roll? I suppose it would work just fine.

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

You can! It is easier to flip it as a small circle, but as long as you watch it, you can do it all at once :-)

[Bob Shaver]

You present a wonderful treat, once again. thanks!

In this video Shug shows how he was able to dry bake using an alcohol stove. He shows a variety of baking pots/pans.

He also shows how he used the simmer stove(Fancee Feest) to fry biscuits in a pan. Not the easiest thing to do :-)

[Michael Haubert]

Using Sarah's recipe, I used dry baking method to come up with this instead of the fried rolls she made:

My timing was a little bit off; the bottom got a little "well done" but looked worse than it tasted. I enjoyed mine with some butter, but some frosting would be fantastic.

Thanks again, Sarah!

Sincerely,

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

Michael, looks good!
