Ingredients

4 cups Bisquick or similar brand baking mix
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbsp heavy cream plus additional as needed to thin
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl use a whisk to soft together Bisquick, sugar and cinnamon.
Pour milk and butter into the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
Use two tablespoons to drop mounds of biscuit dough onto the prepared pans at least 2-inches apart.
Place pan into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Add small amount of heavy cream to thin further, if desired.
Drizzle glaze or brush tops of cinnamon biscuits and serve warm.

Notes

Flour or Biscuit Mix - This recipe is specifically designed to be easy to make. It's fine to use a store brand of biscuit and baking mix in place of Bisquick. That said, this isn't interchangeable with all purpose flour.
Milk - Whole milk, cold buttermilk or 2% milk will work.
Fruit - You could toss 1 cup of raisins into the dry mixture prior to adding the milk for easy cinnamon raisin biscuits.
Topping - You can brush the top with an egg wash for a deep golden color and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking.
Add Nuts - Stir chopped pecans or walnuts into the cinnamon-sugar Bisquick mix filling for a little crunch.
Citrus - Add a little fresh orange zest to the glaze for a bright citrus note.
Maple Glaze - Replace some or all of the cream in the glaze with maple syrup for a cozy maple-cinnamon flavor.
Cream Cheese Glaze - Swap the simple glaze for a quick cream cheese icing to make them taste even more like cinnamon rolls.
