Cinnamon Rolls Paula Deen Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices.
• Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.
• Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat 11/4 cups sugar and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
• Beat in egg and vanilla.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to sugar mixture, beating well.

Steps:

• Turn on the oven to 375 degrees.
• Seperate the dough into eight triangles. Place one marshmallow right in the middle of each triangle. Sprinkle each marshmallow with some of the cinnamon sugar.
• Bring up all of the sides of the roll to completely cover the marshmallow, pinching all of the edges together so that none of the marshmallow shows.
• Cover the cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Place the rolls on the parchment paper, making sure none of them are touching. Sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar.
• Bake the rolls for about ten minutes, until they are light brown and puffed up. Use ovenmitts or hot pads to remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
• Serve warm.
• NOTE: to make cinnamon sugar, combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
