This recipe came into our family in 1985 when we my parents purchased our first microwave. It was included in the cookbook that came with the microwave, and it was entitled “Biscuit Breakfast Ring.” They quickly became a family favorite that we called “Gooey Rolls.” I have a lot of special memories of eating these when I was a kid.
These have all the delicious flavors and warm comforts of homemade caramel rolls, but they are ready in under ten minutes. My kids love to help make them, too.
My kids now request them for special days like birthdays and end of the season football days. Its so fun to relive the joy of this recipe now with my little ones.
