So today I thought I would attempt to make homemade cinnamon rolls for the first time. It was a LONG process, but they taste amazing! The website says the total time to make is 1hr 50 min, but it took me about 2 1/2-3 hrs! I used Paula Deen's recipe, so yes, there is a lot of butter. Since I am on my weight loss mission, I indulged in one and will be sending the rest of them with my husband tomorrow to take to his office for everyone to enjoy. The recipe can be found here:

Making the dough from scratch
Let the dough rise for 45 min.
Punch down and roll out the dough.
It says to roll into a rectangle, but this was as close as I could get.
Fill with butter, sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and raisins. I was sinful and doubled the filling!!!
Roll it up.
Cut into 1 1/2 in pieces. Butter and sugar the bottom of the dish.
Fresh from the oven!
(my house smelled AMAZING!)
Yummy Icing!
The finished product! They are SO moist and devine! Will definately make these for Christmas!
Oh my gosh... Those look amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow is your diet going? I'm trying to be good as well, but it is definitely difficult... Especially with you tempting me with those cinnamon rolls. :)
I love Paula Dean. She has the best recipe for apple pie. Yum....
