Bisquick calls this recipe their “Do-ahead caramel rolls” because the dough can be prepared and put in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to make them, just prepare the pan mixture (the gooey upside-down caramel part) and slice the rolls, then bake them for about 15 minutes.
But you don’t need to make them ahead of time: If you want to prepare and serve these no-yeast caramel rolls immediately, just skip the part about refrigerating the dough. Easy!
To make individual caramel rolls: Prepare as directed except — place 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons butter/margarine and 3 pecan halves in each of 12 medium muffin cups, 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 inches.
Caramel-apple rolls: Prepare as directed except — sprinkle 1 cup finely chopped pared apple over rectangle before rolling up.
