Christmas Eve Shortcut Cinnamon Buns Makes 20 buns
These are made the night before and popped in the oven Christmas morning when the kids are attacking their stockings!
20 unbaked frozen dinner rolls (Bridgeport is a brand I have used) 1 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/3 cup butter, melted
Lightly grease a 10 inch bundt cake pan. Place frozen rolls into the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, the pudding mix, and cinnamon. Pour melted butter over the top. If you dont have a bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin, but they turn out better in a bundt pan.
Cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave overnight at room temperature to rise.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Turn rolls out onto a serving plate and dig in!
Preheat oven to 425°. Grease 11"x7" pan or muffin pans.
Blend Baking Mix and milk. Turn onto surface dusted with Baking Mix and knead about 20 times. Pat or roll dough 1/4" thick rectangle 8"x15". Spread with soft margarine and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll as for a jellyroll. Cut into 1" pieces. Place in prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes. Serve warm.
If desired, while warm, frost with "JIFFY" White Frosting.
I used this recipe and made these cinnamon rolls, but had to add more jiffy mix wasnt enough to knead it. I made my own icing with milk, powdered sugar and vanilla.
The frozen bread dough that comes in the 2 or 3 packs, makes great rolls. I think there are even directions on the package. Can also make cinnamon pull apart, defrost and let rise, melt butter and make a bowl of cinnamon sugar. Coat pan with butter and take walnut size pieces of dough, dip in butter, roll in cinn/sugar, pile in pan. Bake and yummy! It's messy, good for the kids to get to do, because you'll get messy one way or another. Can also sprinkle raisins or any other chopped dried fruit in with the layers of dough as you stack. Hope that helps some.
