I've made a these a few times over the past couple of months when we had guests over for breakfast and they've been a hit every time. I've made cinnamon rolls for years but I'd never used BROWN sugar-- if you've never used brown sugar either then you don't know what you're missing. SO GOOD!
Dough
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup milk
Filling
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions:
1 For the filling, in a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture
2 Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
3 In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4 Cut in softened butter (sometimes your hands are the best tools).
5 Stir in milk to form a soft dough.
6 Roll out dough on a lightly floured into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
7 Spread the remaining filling on the rolled out dough.
8 Roll up the rectangle, with a sharp knife slice into 18 small rolls (12 if you want them a little bigger).
9 Bake for 20-25 min at 400°F.

I also top them with cream cheese frosting instead of a glaze because well, cream cheese frosting is too delicious not to be smothered on top of these rolls!
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and smother on top of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. SO GOOD! Did I mention these are good?
Have you tried caramel rolls? Follow the recipe you added and instead of the cream cheese frosting you add the caramel.
ReplyDeleteCaramel recipe is:
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
Melt and bring to a boil. Boil 2-3 minutes. Pour into the pan with the dough in and bake.
We like to add raisin and coconut to the filling when my mom isn't looking.
Or you can just put brown sugar and cream in the bottom of the pan before you put the cinnamon rolls in, then bake it. The cream and sugar turn to caramel while the buns bake, then you just flip them over and serve. They are a prized family favorite here!
