Directions to make cinnamon rolls for st. patrick’s day recipe
Step 1
First, open a can of biscuit dough and lay each biscuit out individually on an ungreased cookie sheet. For a special touch, you could even slightly flatten out each biscuit and using a cookie cutter cut them into shamrock shapes.
Step 2
Next, in a small bowl mix together ground cinnamon and melted butter. Using a brush or the back of a spoon, spread out the cinnamon and butter mixture evenly onto each unbaked biscuit.
Step 3
Now bake the biscuit according to the package instructions on the can. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.
