Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
-
Prepare the Biscuits: Roll out each biscuit individually into an elongated round shape to provide enough surface area for filling.
-
Butter the Biscuits: Brush each rolled-out biscuit generously with melted butter, allowing for a rich flavor that complements the sweetness.
-
Add Sugar: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar over each biscuit, ensuring an even layer to enhance sweetness.
-
Cinnamon Delight: Dust cinnamon to taste over the sugar, adding warmth and spice that elevates the flavor profile.
-
Incorporate Raisins: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of raisins onto each biscuit, distributing them evenly for bursts of sweetness in every bite.
-
Drizzle with Butter: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of melted butter onto each biscuit, creating a moist and flavorful filling.
-
Roll and Cut: Carefully roll each biscuit up from one end to the other, then cut each roll in half, making sure they are even for baking.
-
Arrange in Pan: Place four rolls per row into a well-greased baking pan, positioning them with the smooth-cut edge facing up, ensuring there is some space between each to allow for spreading.
-
Bake: Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden and fragrant.
-
Serve: Remove the rolls from the pan immediately to prevent them from sticking, and serve warm with chilled evaporated milk for an indulgent dessert experience.
