How to Make Aunt Lois Butter Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your favorite biscuit dough recipe (or use store-bought biscuits). Roll out each biscuit as thinly as possible on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread each biscuit with 1 tablespoon of softened butter.
  4. Sprinkle each biscuit generously with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  5. Tightly roll up each biscuit like a jelly roll.
  6. Arrange the rolled biscuits in a well-buttered 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 cups milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Pour the sugar-milk mixture evenly over the rolls in the casserole dish.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
