I hope that all my mommy pals had a wonderful day yesterday! I enjoyed a wonderful time with my family. We invited my sweet mom over for brunch, and I decided to make homemade cinnamon rolls...a first for me. Luckily, I happened upon this totally awesome recipe! It's just too good not to share. I loved the idea of using my bread machine for the dough, but these could be made without one as well. I made mine the night before and then let them rise in the morning.
My mom's card below was made from one of Amy Westerman's Sunday Sketches. I just love Amy's blog Heartfelt Greetings, and read it daily. :) This was the only time I can remember actually sewing on a card, but I really like the way it turned out and have left my sewing machine easily accessible for future cards.*----Clone of a Cinnabon ----*
Ingredients:
Dough
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Filling
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
Icing
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon saltDIRECTIONS : Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine
in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured
surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving. Enjoy!!
Paper: Bo Bunny's Shabby Princess Ella Precocious & Ella Stripe. I love these papers because they are double sided and always coordinate. Also used Pink DCWV cardstock.
