Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of gluten-free Bisquick baking mix, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 eggs. Mix well until a moist dough forms.
3
Dust your work surface with additional Bisquick (you may also sprinkle some corn starch for easier handling). Place the dough in the center and knead it gently 2-3 times, adding more mix if needed, until manageable.
4
Roll the dough out into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the flattened dough with the remaining melted butter and evenly sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and your choice of nuts or raisins.
5
Carefully roll the dough into a tight spiral, pinching the seam to seal. Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them in the prepared buttered baking dish.
6
Bake for 22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
7
While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing 2 cups of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
8
Once the rolls have cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the frosting over the top and serve warm. Enjoy the gooey goodness!
