It’s been so long since I’ve actually had cinnamon biscuits from Hardees, but I still remember how yummy they were. We used to be able to purchase the Bisquick Cinnamon Biscuit mix, but our store doesn’t carry it anymore…. so, I kinda came up with my own version of Bisquick/Hardees Cinnamon Biscuits (without the raisins that are in Hardees’ biscuits). Below is a printable recipe, without photos, for your convenience.
The first thing to do is to gather ingredients and mix up the biscuit mix, also adding in a cinnamon sugar mixture. Spoon biscuits onto cookie sheet (no rolling/cutting out required for Bisquick biscuits).
Bake according to package directions; meanwhile, mix up a simple powdered sugar frosting.
When the biscuits are done, remove from oven.
While they’re still hot, brush frosting on, and let it melt into each biscuit.
Serve while warm, and enjoy!

Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Biscuits
Ingredients
- Biscuits:

- 1/2 cup water
- 3-4 tsp cinnamon/sugar mixture
- Frosting:
- 1-2 cups powdered sugar

- Milk
Instructions
- Mix biscuit mix, water, and cinnamon sugar mixture. Spoon biscuits onto cookie sheet (no rolling/cutting out required for Bisquick biscuits). Bake according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, mix up a simple powdered sugar frosting, adding in just enough milk to make the frosting thin enough that it will brush onto the hot biscuits. When biscuits are done, remove from oven. While they're still hot, brush icing on, and let it melt into each biscuit.

These look really delicious, and super yummy, too! This is the kind of thing my little girl and I can make together!
Brandi, that’s a great idea!:) They’re really yummy; I love making them on a Saturday/Sunday morning. Thanks for stopping by.:)
okay. so my ORIGINAL comment ended up on the prior post! sorry!
The boys love cinnamon rolls and are always asking me to make them. I will have to try this easy-go-to recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Ruth, lol; these are so much easier than the long process of making cinnamon rolls; hope you enjoy!:)
I have made drop biscuits a million times and never once thought about making them cinnamon! Great idea!
Warning, Amy; they’re kinda addicting.:) Thank you!
I have never seen the Bisquick package in the grocery store. If I don’t ever find it after I have tried a few more stores what is the amount of Bisquick mix do I use and what is the cooking time. I use Bisquick mix to make my strawberry short cakes, I think these biscuits would be extra special for the strawberry shortcake. Thank You, Janice Snyder Marion, Ia.
Hi Janice, I usually find these smaller mixes with the cornbread and other types of flour/baking supplies. Some stores have had them with the other muffin mixes. They’re about the size of a regular muffin package, so you’d probably use maybe 1-1/2 cups of Bisquick? The packages are not very big. Mmmm, these would make great strawberry short cakes; that sounds delicious!
[…] yummy breakfast idea is this recipe for Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Biscuits. […]
How about rolling can biscuit in the sugar cinnamon mixture and baking and then glazing!!!….That is if you want to cheat a little!!!
Vickie, that’s a really good idea! Love easier steps.:)
Sorry,
I think I sent comment saying could not find recipe for “simple powdered sugar frosting”—
Just found it… My Bad, as they say!
No problem, Carol!
For cinnamon sugar, what is the ratio of cinnamon to sugar?
Hi Gwyne, I probably use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of cinnamon and the rest sugar. As long as the mixture is sweeter to the taste than if the cinnamon were to overpower it.

I had some issues and had to make muffins as the batter was too thin. The tops came out solid so I took off the paper on the muffin and immediately dipped them in the icing. I set them aside to let the icing work its way into the muffin. The inside of the muffin is so soft and tastes delish!
Barrie, thank you. Mmmm, the inside of the muffin is my favorite! I wonder why it was too thin; I haven’t had that issue. I’ll have to try making it again, though, just to make sure I have my measurements right… Maybe I’m slightly off on something. Thank you for the feedback!
I should have added that I used bisquick in the box and not the bag. that may have made a difference. They were still good!
