Shortcut Sin Buns Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat the oven to 400 F or whatever the tubes say to bake the biscuits at.
• Lay down a sheet of wax paper over your work surface, or you'll have a lot of cleanup afterwards. Trust me on this.
• In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon; make sure it's blended well.
• Take two biscuits and roll them out into a long, thin strip. Lay the strip down onto the wax paper and flatten it. Use a spoon to fill the strip with the cinnamon-sugar mix, spreading it evenly.
• Carefully roll the strip up. You can do this to look like a traditional cinnamon bun, or much like a croissant. Whatever you feel like. It may take you a few tries to get it tight enough or in the shape you want. Don't be afraid to unroll it and start over.
• Do this using two biscuits for each roll. The bargain brands are skimpy so it takes at least two of them to make a decent-sized bun. You can use three to make them even bigger but it will yield less buns. If that's fine for you, by all means go for it.
• When you have them all rolled, use whatever cinnamon-sugar mix you have leftover to sprinkle over the top of the buns.
• Arrange them in a greased baking dish and bake until golden-brown. They may come apart, even if you think you pinched them closed really tight. It happens to the best of us.
• While they're still warm, spread the icing over them generously. If you wait for them to cool, it won't look as appetizing. (See main pic - I fail.)
• Eat them warm too, they're awesome!
