THE BISCUIT WORKSHOP—ORANGE SCENTED BUTTERMILK BISCUIT CINNAMON ROLLS
Let the warming scents of cinnamon and orange fill your home and welcome the holiday season with these, I promise you, easy to make Orange Scented Buttermilk Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls. Sure you could pop open a can from the refrigerator section of your local grocery store and have basic cinnamon rolls in 30 minutes or so… piping hot and full of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives—uh, yum? Guess what, you can do better than that and it won’t even take that much time.
It all starts with one simple recipe and you’ll be able to make both the Orange Scented Buttermilk Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls and my Buttery Buttermilk Biscuits. I’m mean come on, just look at those flakey layers! You know, the buttermilk biscuits, brushed with a little melted butter and a sprinkling of crunchy Maldon salt and fresh ground pepper might just deserve a spot on your Thanksgiving table in place of the typical, dare I say tired, dinner rolls. Just a thought.
The beauty of these quick cinnamon rolls means you get all the deliciousness of a cinnamon roll without having to plan ahead the night before to give yeasted or sourdough cinnamon rolls time to rise—a couple times. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and will eventually share my sourdough cinnamon roll recipe with you all but sometimes you just don’t have the extra time or you get that spur of the moment craving and lets face it, nothing involving yeast is spur of the moment.
I love to bake these in a cast iron pan, but never fear an 8 or 9 inch cake pan will work as well. Just know that if you do bake them in cast iron it’ll take a bit longer, but oh so worth it. I hope you love these as much as I do and keep them on repeat all throughout the holidays and beyond. Now get in there a whip up some way better, and better for you than store bought, Orange Scented Buttermilk Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls… and some flakey, Buttery Buttermilk Biscuits while you’re at it.
