Lovin' From the Oven


This weekend we had a taste of fall weather, which by the way, I am not too thrilled about. I love summer. I love the sun and the hot weather. I am not too happy about all the people trying to hurry fall along - I am clinging to summer! Fall here looks like this: gray skies 99% of the time, rain, cold, dreary weather that makes you want to stay in bed all day. Why would anyone choose that over warm sunny days?? But I digress...
My point was this: the cooler days made me want to whip up something warm and comforting with some autumn spice. So I decided to make my family some homemade cinnamon rolls. I don't think I had ever made them before and I didn't have a cherished family recipe handed down form my great grandmother, so I did what I usually do and just added to a bowl what I thought seemed right. Makes more sense than finding a recipe, right?
They turned out really yummy, so I thought I'd share the *recipe* with you!
I am telling you, not much smells better than buttery cinnamon goodness wafting through the air!

Grab a mixing bowl and toss in:
2 (ish) cups of flour
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil

Mix them all together until a nice dough forms.

Toss some flour on your clean counter and roll out the dough into a rectangle.

Butter the dough generously with very soft butter. I think I used 1/2 cup :)

Sprinkle on a mixture of:
1/3 (ish) cup brown sugar
1/3 (ish) cup white sugar
1 Tbs (ish) cinnamon
(I like a lot of cinnamon, you may want to use less.)

Roll it up and slice into 12 (ish) rolls. Place them in a buttered pan with enough space in between for the rolls to expand.
Bake at 375 for about 25 min.



Frosting
3 Tbs soft butter
3 Tbs soft cream cheese
1 1/2 (ish) cups powdered sugar
a few splashes of milk
Mix together and pour over hot rolls.

Give these a try, I think you'll love them!

Pin It!

Stephanie said...

YUMM! I think I will get my sugar fix through your baking :)

And it makes my heart sad that you don't like Fall! But my sister-in-law is the same way, she loves the warmth of summer! Hoping Fall brings you something exciting this year! :)

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

I completely agree about the fall! I love the colors in fall, but not the cold. I was freezing this morning when I came to work... Not a fan. LoL

With no aircondition in vehicles and only a small one in our bedroom, I'm ready for fall!! Plus, I'm more of a jeans vs shorts girl anymore. Boy, has time changed. LOL Plus, the bugs are HORRIBLE here, so another reason...to bring on the fall. PLUS: you can cuddle more with your loved ones without feeling their sticky bodies on you because of the hot days of summer. LOL

Oh my gosh those look delicious!! I need to try them, thanks for sharing the recipe!

sarah said...

not that i don't already eat my fair share of sweets but, i must try these. i love to bake but, i don't always like to wait for the dough to rise and even then i don't always time it right. then it is a mad dash out the door if we need to be somewhere.

please stop my blog as well. www.littlecitizensoftheworld.blogspot.com and my etsy shoppe www.melondot.etsy.com

have a sweet day, sarah

I wish I'd seen these sooner! Last week I had a major pregnancy craving for cinnamon rolls, but couldn't find a recipe that didn't use yeast. And honestly, that early in the morning, I don't want to wait 2 hours for my rolls! I ended up buying them in a tube next time I was at the store, and made them the next day. They really weren't even that good! So I'm bookmarking this for the next craving, thank you!

I have always made mine with yeast and that process takes forever. I have bookmarked this because I would love to try a quicker recipe. However it is still 100 degrees here so I will wait until it is cooler out to turn on my over. :o)

Oh how I love homemade cinnamon rolls! My mom would make them when I was little. I also remember after she would make a pie she would roll out the leftover pie dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake it till nice and crisp= that was my favorite part of the pie!

Etcetorize said...

I don't bake, but these looks so yummy and easy to make that I might just give it a try! Thanks~
