Recipe: Cinnamon Rolls

What’s for breakfast this Sunday morning? How about a treat? Cinnamon rolls it is! Yummy in my tummy.

Yeast, of course, is a vital ingredient in this recipe! Here’s what else you’ll need:

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 4.5 tablespoons of butter
• 3 1/2 cups of flour
• 1 packet of activated yeast
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup brown raw sugar
• 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup of butter…I know, more butter.
• pinch of salt

First – warm the milk and melt 4.5 tablespoon of butter in the milk – set aside. In the mixing bowl mix together half the flour, all the yeast, all the white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix for about 1 minute. Add in the milk and butter and the egg. Mix well for about 3 minutes. Gradually add in the remaining flour and mix for 5 minutes.

Let the dough rest for about 7 minutes. Now…make the filling.

The filling – take the remaining butter – 3/4 of a cup, the brown sugar, and the ground cinnamon. Mix well.

Now, roll out the dough. Coat the dough evenly with the cinnamon mixture – I used my hands, since anything else I tried to use started to tear up the dough.

Roll and cut. Use a sharp or serrated knife, otherwise you’ll squish the rolls. You could use floss, too – pinterest, people, pinterest.

Place the rolls into a well buttered 9×13 pan. Let stand for 25 minutes. Bake at 350 for 23-25 minutes.

The top as it comes out of the pan…

But the bottom is so much gooey-ier.

Eat it all up…leave no evidence!

Happy Sunday baking.
