These easy skillet cinnamon rolls are buttery delicious and simple to bake.
This past weekend, I was looking for something sweet to bake that wouldn’t take long in the oven, so I grabbed my favorite cast iron skillet and whipped up a batch of cinnamon rolls with a few items I had on hand.
I must say, the boys devoured them, and I had to keep a close watch on my husband to keep him from eating the rest on his own.
I love skillet baking because the cast iron stays super hot to create the perfect crust. It also makes cooking easier because the meal is cooked up together all in one big pan.
Easy Skillet Cinnamon Rolls
For this one, I used the big buttermilk biscuits dipped in melted butter, then cinnamon and sugar, and rolled them all up in the bottom of the pan.
After that, I just baked them to a golden crust, sprinkled on a few chopped pecans, and finally, added the vanilla glaze that makes a cinnamon roll so deliciously sweet.
