This recipe takes the best parts of homemade cinnamon rolls and flaky buttermilk biscuits and combines them into one easy treat. It incorporates a layer of sweet cinnamon goodness, just like cinnamon rolls. A generous amount of cinnamon is added directly to the biscuit dough, and the baked biscuits are finished with a drizzle of rich and creamy cinnamon icing. They’re tender, gooey, and bursting with all the cozy warmth of a homemade cinnamon roll.
