Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup nuts, chopped
  • 1 package Parker House frozen rolls
  • 1 package butterscotch pudding
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • cinnamon to suit taste

Instructions

  1. Grease a baking pan.
  2. Sprinkle chopped nuts on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Arrange the frozen Parker House rolls evenly over the nuts.
  4. Sprinkle dry butterscotch pudding over the rolls.
  5. Melt the butter, then add brown sugar and cinnamon to it.
  6. Pour the butter mixture over the rolls.
  7. Cover the pan and place in a cold oven overnight.

Tips & Substitutions

For a nut-free version, consider using seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead. If butterscotch pudding isn't available, vanilla pudding can work as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different. To enhance the flavor, add a dash of vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Make sure to let the rolls rise properly for a fluffy texture, similar to the result seen in American recipes.

Serving Suggestions

These sweet rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Serve them warm with a drizzle of icing or a dusting of powdered sugar. Pair with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced meal. They complement coffee or tea beautifully, making them a delightful addition to gatherings, much like R S V P Cookies or Mama'S Birthday Cake.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, wrap individual rolls in foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through, ensuring they stay moist.
