Who's ready to start baking and enjoying this breakfast treat?
Ingredients
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: in a small bowl place the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon and salt
Step 2: use a whisk to combine the filling ingredients and set aside
Step 3: roll canned biscuits into about a 2x6" rectangle on a floured surface
Step 4: dip or brush melted butter on each rectangle (brushing will control the butter amount better)
Step 5: place rectangle dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture
Step 6: coat both sides and begin to place in a buttered skillet (step 7)
Step 7: start by placing the first piece of dough in the center of a 12" buttered skillet
Step 8: take rectangle dough pieces as shown in steps 5-6 and place around the first piece of dough going in a circle until all rectangles are used up - bake at 350 for about 30 minutes
Once out of the oven, let cool a bit and then frost.
Step 9: in a medium bowl place the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese and milk
Step 10: beat with a mixer until combined and fluffy
Now it is time to enjoy this tasty cinnamon roll complete with a gooey center and a creamy frosting!
Recipe Notes and Tips
- remove biscuits from refrigerator about 15 minutes ahead of time so they roll easier
- use shallow bowls for the melted butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture
- butter your skillet well to prevent sticking (I have a fancy skillet but any that is oven safe will do)
- eat two way - either cut slices or unroll it like monkey bread
How to Store
- this Giant Skillet Cinnamon Roll is best when eaten the day made
- if storing, place in an airtight container for 1-2 days
- reheat in a microwave about 20 seconds to warm up
- I would not recommend freezing

Giant Skillet Cinnamon Roll
A tasty cinnamon roll made in a skillet!
Ingredients
- 3 cans (16.3 oz) Grand Style Biscuits
- 1 stick butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and butter a 12" skillet well
- In a shallow bowl combine the sugars, cinnamon and salt
- In another shallow bowl place the melted butter
- Roll each biscuit into a 2x6" rectangle
- Brush each side with melted butter and dip both sides in the sugar mixture
- Start in the middle of your skillet and roll into a round shape (like a regular cinnamon roll)- for each biscuit added, continue adding around tightly. (I stretched slightly as I was adding them around the middle one)
- Don't worry if you have space around the edges after adding all the biscuits, it will bake to the edges
- Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown; remove and let cool about 10 minutes
- Use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, milk and powdered sugar
- Spread over warms rolls and enjoy!
