Are you planning a special breakfast for your loved ones this Valentine's Day? You must try this cinnamon roll recipe! They are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. Yes, better than Cinnabon! It was shared with me by my friend Debbie W.
1 FRESH yellow cake mix
2 pkg yeast
2 1/2 cups very warm water
5 cups sifted flour - Cake flour or all purpose works (I use 2 Hot Roll Mixes plus 1 cup flour)
Mix all ingredients together until silky. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer. This is a sticky dough so it is ok to add up to 1/2 cup more flour if kneading by hand. Place in bowl, cover with warm, damp towel, and let it rise about an hour. (I place my bowl in my microwave and leave the door slightly opened so the warmth of the light will accelerate the dough rising.)
Roll dough out in a rectangle. Melt a stick of butter to grease a 9x13 pan. Spread remaining softened butter on top of dough. Sprinkle liberally with sugar, cinnamon, walnuts (optional), and raisins (optional). Roll up like a jelly roll. Using dental floss, cut cinnamon rolls out. Place rolls in pan and let rise until the pan is full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Frost the rolls with a butter and powdered sugar frosting and drizzle over the top of the rolls.
I like to make them the day before we plan to eat them and frost them the morning of. It's our family tradition to have cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning and Valentine's Day...and anytime in between! They are soooo good! Enjoy!
