Mmmm... There's nothing better than a sweet treat for post-present opening. But who wants to spend hours in the kitchen? And with traditional cinnamon rolls, the dough can take hours to make. These rolls taste like heaven and take just about half an hour!
Hungry for More???
What You Will Need:
For the Rolls:
- 1 package of dinner roll dough (I used Pillsbury Grands dough)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
-2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
-2 tablespoons of melted butter
By using the pre-prepared dough, you cut back on prep time tremendously, so you can spend more time with your family, and not with your kitchen. Make sure to join all of the individual dough pieces that come in the tube together, so you have a ball like this before rolling out.
Directions:
1. Roll out the dough to form a thin to medium thickness sheet. I recommend spreading a small amount of flour on the surface to prevent sticking.
2. Mix together the sugars, spices, salt, and maple syrup in a bowl.
3. Using a pastry brush, or a spoon, spread the melted butter onto the dough in an even layer.
4. Liberally apply the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over the dough.
5. Starting from one edge, begin to roll the dough until you have a burrito looking shape.
6. Use a knife to slice the roll into smaller pieces and place in a greased pan.
7. Bake the rolls at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes.
To make the slicing easier, use a larger, sharper knife which you could also coat in flour.
Frosting Time!!
What You Will Need:
For the Frosting:
- 2.5 ounces cream cheese, softened
-7 tablespoons butter, softened
-2 tablespoons milk
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon maple syrup
-pinch of salt
-1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Directions:
1. Whip together the softened cream cheese and butter until fluffy
2. Add in the milk,vanilla, and maple syrup mixture
3. Lastly, slowly mix in the confectioners sugar and salt until smooth, and frosting like!
Also, my lovely friend Justine came over and filmed this baking process which she will be uploading as a vlog style video to her YouTube channel, Justine Charlotte, as well as some other fun videos we did. So go check her out!!
Love Actually on in the background. Gotta love it!!!
THE SMELL OF THESE IS IMPECCABLE.
Before frosting, I brushed on the remaining melted butter I had to the tops of the rolls.
Go to town. Frost them how ever you want, trust me they'll be beautiful no matter what! They're best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven. But actually, how hungry does this picture make you??
Sheer Happiness.
Vividly Yours,
Taylor
