Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls with Buttercream Icing
What it is
These are pre-made, refrigerated cinnamon rolls that come with a separate container of sweet buttercream icing. They are designed for quick and easy preparation in a home kitchen. The dough is meant to be soft and tender, with a swirl of cinnamon sugar filling that bakes into a delightful treat. The icing adds a creamy, sweet finish.
How people cook with it
These cinnamon rolls are a popular choice for breakfast or dessert. They are perfect for when you want a sweet baked good without the effort of making it from scratch.
- Weekend breakfast treat
- Quick dessert option
- Brunch centerpiece
- After-school snack
To prepare, simply unroll the refrigerated dough and separate the pre-cut cinnamon rolls. Place them into a baking dish or on a baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space to expand. Bake them according to the package directions until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once removed from the oven and slightly cooled, warm the buttercream icing if desired and spread it generously over the tops of the warm cinnamon rolls. The heat from the rolls will help the icing melt slightly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade cinnamon rolls, these offer significant convenience. The dough is already prepared and portioned, saving time on mixing and rolling. The included icing is also pre-made, eliminating the need to gather ingredients and whip up a frosting separately. The texture may differ slightly from scratch-made versions.
Who it is for
These are ideal for busy individuals or families looking for a simple, sweet baked item.
How to keep the rest
Keep the refrigerated dough in its original packaging in the refrigerator until ready to use. Do not freeze. Once baked, store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer storage. The icing should also be refrigerated after opening.
