Now, I've made cinnamon rolls plenty of times before, but this was a new recipe for me. My best friend was in town over the weekend, and she's really wanted to try this recipe, but says it scares her, lol. She's only recently started baking from scratch, and has never made any sort of yeast dough/bread. So, I figured why not make this recipe together! I thought about cutting it in half, because it makes a LOT, but again, I figured why not tackle the full recipe and really have some fun!!
It's a
Pioneer Woman recipe. Here's a link to her actual recipe:
PW Cinnamon Rolls.
I didn't make any changes to the dough recipe, except I did have to add a bit more flour than called for, maybe one cup more in total. The other thing I did was cut back on the butter after rolling out the dough. I probably cut the butter in half, and trust me, it was still plenty buttery!!
However, we did change the frosting recipe. I left out the coffee completely (though I did have to add a bit more milk to make up for it) and used vanilla extract instead of the maple flavoring. It was quite yum!! I believe my dh called it a diabetic coma on a plate, LOL.
We got seven, yes 7, pans of cinnamon rolls out of it! We demolished one pan right there (it wasn't just the two of us, my dh and kids helped out!), she took one pan to her dad's house, my dh dropped off a pan with a co-worker, and I froze the rest to have later!!
Just thought I would share our fun cinnamon roll experience!
