Catherine'S Cinnamon Rolls
Sweet cinnamon rolls baked with a rich butterscotch flavor, topped with nuts, perfect for a comforting breakfast or dessert that pleases family and friends alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the frozen bread dough rolls in a greased Bundt pan.
- Mix together melted margarine, butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts; pour over the rolls.
- Cover with Saran Wrap and let rise overnight.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted margarine mixture. If you prefer a different pudding flavor, vanilla or caramel can also work well. For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or substitute with seeds like sunflower seeds. Ensure the dough rolls are evenly spaced in the pan for uniform baking.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm and can be served with a drizzle of cream cheese icing or a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or brunch. They also complement savory sides like scrambled eggs or the vibrant flavors of a Pink Velvet Frozen Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, microwave individual rolls for 15-20 seconds until warm, or place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh dough instead of frozen rolls?
Yes, you can use fresh dough; however, the rising time may differ. For fresh dough, let it rise until doubled in size before assembling the rolls. Keep in mind that baking times may need to be adjusted based on the dough's moisture content.
How do I know when the cinnamon rolls are done baking?
The cinnamon rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You can also gently press the rolls; they should feel firm but spring back slightly. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
Can I freeze the assembled rolls before baking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled rolls after pouring the butterscotch mixture over them. Cover tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then let rise at room temperature before baking as usual.
