Good Food: Cinnfully Delicious
The recipe on AllRecipes.com is called “Clone of a Cinnabon”, and when Pat found it, she asked if I’d be interested in making it. (Pat does nearly all the cooking at our house, but I try to help her out by baking treats from time to time.)
At AllRecipes, it reads “Save yourself a lot of money by making your own homemade cinnamon rolls! The dough is made in the bread machine and everything else is done by hand. … Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.”
“After the dough has doubled in size turn it out… and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.”
“Roll dough into a 16×21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture.”
“Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled…” Here’s one of the two pans of rolls. It was Pat’s idea to use parchment paper instead of greasing the baking pan.
“Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and salt…”
“…Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.” And, it goes (nearly) without saying, Enjoy.
The recipe carried a 5-star rating at AllRecipes, and both of us agreed. Breakfast has been pretty special this week, and with only enough rolls left for today and tomorrow, I’m planning to make another batch over the weekend.
By the way, WordPress says this is post #1000 since the Good Cats laid claim to this quiet corner of cyberspace in late 2005. Well, if nothing else, you have to admire my persistence and my nerve… [grin]

I’ve always bought this Pillsbury doughboy (in a can) ones. But…never again. Those look absolutely scrumptous. Thanks for showing me how to make them.
