Instructions
Prepare the Buns
- 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
- 2Unroll the biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
- 3In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter (4 tbsp) with the biscuit pieces. Toss to coat evenly.
- 4Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in a single layer in the prepared skillet.
Make the Filling
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter (2 tbsp), packed brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- 2Drizzle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the skillet.
Bake and Glaze
- 1Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
- 2While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and softened butter until smooth.
- 3Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- 4Once the buns are out of the oven, let them cool slightly in the skillet. Then, drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cinnamon buns.

Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese and butter for the glaze are fully softened for a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Keep an eye on the buns while baking; oven temperatures can vary, and you want them perfectly golden.
- Serve warm directly from the skillet for the best texture and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
