They are delish. And easy. I'm normally a blonde and sweet kinda girl w/ my coffee...but w/ these - the wakey juice can be black. The combo of the two is like a party in your mouth. Get your mind out of the gutter with the party in mouth thing.
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 tspn salt
Throw some cinnamon in there.
1 tbsp melted butter
*Combine above w/ fork and set aside.
*Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Right now. Go do it.
*Butter a round cake pan. Right now. Go do it.
Ingredients for dough:
3 cups all purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 tspn baking powder
1/2 tspn baking soda
1/2 tspn salt
1 cup buttermilk (If you are like me and don't have buttermilk you can just take 1 cup milk and add 1 tspn lemon juice or vinegar - let sit about 10 minutes and stir and voila! buttermilk.)
6 tbsp melted butter
*Mix all the dry then add the wet. It should be like dough. If not, you suck at cooking and should stop and have a mimosa.
*Get your rolling pin ready. Flour a surface to roll the dough - I go a tad overboard w/ the flour but it never sticks. You are going to want a rectangle shape about the size of a 13x9 pan, if it's bigger that's ok, if it's smaller that's ok. Once you have a shape that resembles a rectangle grab the filling and dump it on and spread it around all of the dough. Start rolling it lengthwise - kinda keeping tabs on what the edges are doing, folding them in a smidgen if need be while you are rolling. When you get to the other side...stop. Cut into 8 pretty thick 'rolls' and place them in that buttered pan you have waiting on you. That oven should be beeping by now to let you know it's preheated. Stick them in for 20 - 25 min's. While they are in there you will want to make your icing to spread over them as soon as they come out to make a big, fattening, tasty, gooey pile of "holy crap if they weren't so sweet I'd eat another one" rolls.
*Ingredients for icing
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp soft butter
2 tspn milk
Start stirring (I use a whisk) I just add water by the tspn until it's the correct consistency.
You can always add pecans or whatever into the filling. I don't because I don't like nuts in my food.
Enjoy. These are fabulous and easy.
If you are out of brown sugar fear not! Sugar works well too. :)
