Ohh thank you MickeyLee.

homemade cinnamon rolls. I've been reading over a few recipes and man I seriously don't think I have the equipment to make them. I need either a full kitchen aid mixer, a food processor that can mix up dough, or some other device or utensil I don't feel like buying just to make these yummy bastards.

I just made cinnamon rolls on Saturday. I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and a Cuisinart; love them both because they do most of the downstairs kitchen scullery maid work in the modern kitchen. Many people were baking and enjoying cinnamon rolls and such long before they were invented; you need to just knead the dough or get yourself a scullery maid. Here is my recipe...

Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

You will need...
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 envelopes yeast
1 TBL oil
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups flour
2 sticks butter (room temperature)
2 TBL cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup pecan halves

In a bowl put 1 1/2 cup water with 1/4 cup sugar and add the yeast and let it sit for about five minutes until it is really foamy add the oil. In another bowl mix the flour with the salt and whisk it a little. If you have a Kitchen Aid mixture use the dough hook and on Medium/Low add the flour one cup at a time until it's incorporated. Continue to work the dough until it is one elastic glossy piece of dough. Oil a large bowl and roll the dough in it on both sides and cover with plastic and let rise for about an hour until it is double in size.

Meanwhile beat the butter with the remaining 1 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon until creamy. Set aside.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and press into a rectangular 10"X16" and spread half of the butter mixture on top and sprinkle the crushed pecans on top and roll like a log so it's 16" long and pinch the seam and ends to close and cut into 12 rolls. In a 15X10 pan spread the remaining butter mixture and add the pecan halves. place each roll cut side down and cover with plastic and let rise covered with plastic until they all touch each other.

Meanwhile preheat your oven to 325 degrees and bake for about 35 minutes until the rolls are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes and then invert the pan with a cookie sheet to turn the upside down rolls right side up. Serve warm or room temperature.

Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

Thanks for this one. I may try it later.

I use one by Paula Deen which turns out really nice, but I'm always open to new stuff.

Her recipe sounds good too. I rarely glaze cinnamon rolls because they just are a little too sweet for me and it makes my teeth hurt for some reason... but once in a blue moon I'll have one of those Cinnabon rolls in the airport if I'm desperate and ready to faint from hunger and they are pretty delicious (even though very sweet).

OhWiseOne now that would negate me having my to buy any extra gadgets but where is the fun in buying frozen cinnamon buns or prepackaged ones?

FSU it was my "lazy answer". I ask for forgiveness. :frown1:

I could send you a bowl of the gumbo I made yesterday if that would help. :redface:

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes | The Recipe Critic

• Cinnamon Filling:
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
• Cream Cheese Glaze:
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2-ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pancakes: (Can also use a box)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

1. To make the cinnamon filling: Combine brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a medium size bowl. Scoop into a baggie and set aside.
2. For the glaze: In a small pan melt the butter over low heat. Whisk together the cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar. Take off of the heat and set aside until ready to use on pancakes.
3. To make the pancakes: Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together the milk, egg, and oil.
4. Heat skillet to medium low. Once preheated, spray with non-stick spray. Add about ½ cup of the batter to the skillet. Wait until bubbles start to form. Snip the corner of the cinnamon filling, and create a swirl pattern in the center of the pancake as pictured above. See notes. Be careful not to get it too close to the edge. With a wide metal spatula flip the pancake over and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Wipe out the pan each time and repeat with the remaining batter. Warm the glaze if needed and drizzle over pancakes.

I'm starting to get ready for Rosh Hashanah this coming week. We are having the traditional apples and honey and poppyseed challah bread and this year we are having stuffed cabbage baked in apples, brisket, carrot/pomegranate salad, baked sweet potato w/pineapple, an apple noodle kugel and a chocolate honey cake. If anyone wants or needs a recipe I'll post it. Otherwise... Shana Tova ve Metuka.(Have a good and sweet year)

Cinnamon Rolls.

 

[Bean_head]

I haven't been in here in ages and it makes me sad. I haven't cooked anything spectacular in a while, although I do have a craving for crumble.

Anyone have a good recipe for a crumble? Doesn't matter on the fruit, although I do love a cinnamon, apple and rhubarb crumble.

I guess I just need to get the basics right.

 

[nudeyorker]

Bean_head you have been missed. One of my favorites is strawberry and almond crumble.

One pound strawberries hulled
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup pulverized almonds
4 tsp vanilla extract

For the crumble topping
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
5 TBL butter cold cut into small chunks
1 1/4 cup sliced blanched almonds 1/2 cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar) and heavy cream to serve.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and put the strawberries, sugar and pulverized almonds and vanilla extract in a small baking dish or pie pan and shake it to mix it all together.

Put the flour, baking powder in an mixing bowl and either use your dough hook of your stand mixer or use two forks and and push the butter into the dry ingredients until its a coarse meal and add your sugar and sliced almonds and incorporate.

Put your crumble mixture over the strawberries in an even layer and press the edges to the side of the pan. Bake on a cookie sheet for about a half hour until the crumble is a light golden color and some of the strawberry juice weeps through. Let it cool about 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Top with cold heavy whipped cream.

Missed you too Nudey!!!

Would it be easier to pan heat the fruit mix instead of baking it?

Anybody got any suggestions/thoughts for doing some quick pickling a la some of the side dish awesome you get at some Korean and Japanese restaurants? I've been eyeing bean sprouts and radishes at the store, lately.

I'll have to try that! I've been trying to eat more healthily and more simply. Hard to do in a dorm, but pickles seem easy enough, as far as quick pickling, not like, actual pickling.
