13 hours smoked pork shank partially chipped off into a stir fry w/bell peps & onions. Long grain white rice and a simple salad. Oh.. and a breath mint so Dh will give me a goodnight kiss w/out holding his breath..

Yes 'fresh' the grocery store was selling the last of their bags for fifty cents each! I put a couple in the freezer, and have some for salad. Now I am looking for a dessert type thing. I am thinking of cranberry and orange crisp.

But I want your roll recipe. That sounds like a great idea.

Hey! Hi! Sorry way late in responding to this! I had flu and it makes me even more scatterbrained then usual.

Here is a link to the recipe I use.

Couple of notes:

This works great with fresh or frozen cranberries.

The base recipe being used is Alton Brown’s Overnight Cinnamon Roles which IMO makes the best cinnamon roles ever. But it is a time consumming recipe. If you have another cinnamon roll recipe you like I am sure you could use that instead. All you do is leave out the cinnamon and add finely chopped cranberries and orange zest to the filling.

This recipe includes instructions for making an orange glaze to top the rolls. It’s a mix of fresh oj and powdered sugar. It is ok but I find it a bit too sweet and not orange-y enough. I like to use a mix of orange and lemon juice plus orange zest for extra punch.

Happy baking!

I hope you are doing much better. Thanks for the recipe. I made a lovely cranberry orange crisp this weekend with one package, and will use the last one that I didn't freeze for this. Yummmmy

This is the best cinnamon roll recipe ever and pretty fool proof


Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Ever


This recipe is hands down the Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Ever. The perfect soft, fluffy, gooey cinnamon rolls are right at your fingertips. This is the only recipe you'll ever need.

Author: Rachel Farnsworth

Yield: 12 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

Dough

• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

• ½ cup salted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Glaze

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup salted butter, softened
• 1 to 1½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed.
2. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
4. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12inch by 18inch rectangle.
5. Brush the dough with ½ cup melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.
6. Place the slices onto a lightly 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 14 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top.
8. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze by using a hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Whip in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
9. Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.

Notes

Cooking time is dependent on the size of your rolls. You should cook the rolls until they have just a kiss of brown on the top. If they don't have a kiss of brown, they probably aren't done. Cooking time may be upwards of 18-20 minutes.
