When my grandchildren visit, these cinnamon roll biscuits are their favorite "Breakfast at Grammy's House" treat. If you're not a nut lover, these are also delicious without the pecans. —Joyce Conway, Westerville, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 teaspoons 2% milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Combine buttermilk, oil and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (dough will be sticky).
  2. Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Roll out dough into a 15x9-in. rectangle. Spread butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Combine sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and, if desired, pecans; sprinkle over butter. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into about 1-in. slices.
  3. Place 1 in. apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400° until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm biscuits. Serve immediately.
