Ingredients
Instructions
- Stretch a roll to a 5-inch length.
- Roll the dough in melted butter, then in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Tie the rolled dough into a knot.
- Place on a well oiled baking dish.
- Repeat until the pan is filled.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract to the melted butter. You can also substitute some of the regular sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramel-like taste. If you're short on time, using pre-made dough is a fantastic shortcut, but make sure to thaw it properly to ensure it rolls out easily.
Serving Suggestions
These E-Z Cinnamon Rolls are best served warm, drizzled with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. They pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a complete breakfast, consider serving alongside Maggie's Winter Salad for a refreshing contrast. They also make a delightful treat for brunch gatherings or special occasions.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until heated through.
