Pillsbury biscuits

I checked the food forum already and there were a couple posts in regards to the lovely Pillsbury Grands biscuits (not cookies) and that there was something comparable at Sainsbury's...but it didn't mention a brand name.  Rather than go to the store blindly looking for something....has anyone found something that is equally as good?  They don't need to be the "Grand" ones...just something along those lines.  Sometimes I'm not good at explaining myself....this is what i'm looking for:  http://www.pillsbury.com/View/breads/grands_biscuits.asp

mmm, the warm buttery flavored flakiness....

yes, yes, yes....that what i am looking for!!  well....that....and i use them for this lovely little recipe i learned in home ec a million years ago called "sticky buns" with loads of sugar, cinnamon and butter.  what it really comes down to is that i'm missing a really good cinnamon roll (costco has the best ones...but safeways aren't bad either) and i figure the closest i can get to them is making my little sticky buns recipe.  but now that i'm talking about it...i wonder how difficult it would be to make cinnamon rolls......

oh it soooo easy!!! growing up, every summer we'd to to the county fairs Santa Clara and Alameda etc. My parents always took us over peek at the baker making cinnamon rolls through the glass. They never used measurements and always made huge quantities so the dough was rolled out, then pats of butter were rubbed in all over, then white sugar (brown sugar is lovely too for stickiness) and cinnamon. Roll it up into a log shape... you can add more butter and sugar as you roll it but not necessary. Slice the log in pieces, let it rise again and bake. YUM!!!

So as an adult I tried it and it is easy... and easy to get carried away, think Cinnabon. I started making it every year during the holidays using the same dough we made for dinner rolls. YUM.

oh man.....my main reason for going to the alameda county fair are the funnel cakes!!!  omg....they are sssoooo good.  i even made them at home and they turned out pretty darn good...i was proud of myself.

ok...i think i can get the butter, sugar, and cinnamon part down...but how do you make the dough?  i'm thinking flour, oil, eggs and maybe some milk or water? 

and speaking of cinnabon....i'm wondering if there is a recipe on the internet for that wonderful frosting/icing stuff they put on top of the cinnamon rolls.....

sorry I thought you were asking for a funnel cake recipe.

sorry I thought you were asking for a funnel cake recipe.

it's ok....after looking at it a little closer tho...i think it will work...just for the dough part anyway. 

ooh i want to try making a funnel cake...

you can use a regular bread recipe. My family uses a "sweet bread" recipe found in a Betty Crocker type book.

the internet should find something.  it's eeeeeeaaaaasssssyyyyyy!

Just use a regular white dough recipe to make cinnamon rolls....
they come out great...or monkey bread... granted it's a bit harder than buying ready made biscuits or those dough in a can rolls, but it works out great....

I too was wondering if they sold frozen bread dough anywhere in the UK......
