Something in this winter weather makes me feel like baking with yeast. Already we made some delicious challah bread thanks to Tammyrecipes. Yesterday and today were spent in the kitchen with Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls. At first, I was leery. It made 7 pans of cinnamon rolls!! But then she recommended making them for neighbors. Perfect! I love my neighbors and miss them when the cold weather forces us inside. A perfect reason to stop by unannounced. The ingredients are hilarious. 9 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, 2 LBS!!! of powdered sugar, and at least 4 sticks of butter, and we musn't forget a quart of WHOLE milk.
Yesterday, when I told Grant we were going to make cinnamon rolls the first thing he did was run to pull out a flat sheet. He thought cinnamon rolls meant pop the can, plop them on a sheet and into the oven, and 15 minutes later is ooey, gooey goodness. But I had other ideas for my little man and he seemed a little bummed that Mommy's idea would take two days before it was done!
Grant really got into the rolling out of the dough. Use up some of that pent up energy baby:-)
The recipe called for a "virile" man to stir the icing. Thank goodness I had one standing by in the wings to help.
Baby brothers did receive extra loving during the making of the rolls.
Straight out of the oven (pre-icing), yummy goodness.
Perfect winter treat after playing in the snow for awhile and hand delivering to neighbors.Was it worth it? Definitely. BUT, I will say that Kroger has refrigerated rolls on sale for $.50 after coupons this week and this Momma plans on stocking up:-)
