Caramelized Cinnamon Rolls

This one is for Mama Duum. You took my Gameboy in 2006 and I haven’t forgiven you for that. I was at the Elite 4, level 65 Charizard doin work. My room was going to be junky for the next 10 years. Boo-hoo. Anyway she used to make me cinnamon rolls so I guess she’s cool.

Ingredients

1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Half stick of salted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cans of cinnamon rolls (10-16 rolls)

Instructions

Your best bet is to use a cast iron skillet for this recipe. You’re essentially making caramel in your oven so a heavy bottom pan will do the job wonderfully. If you have something thinner, please keep an eye on it. You aren’t suing me because you burned your sugar and your house down.

Mix your butter, vanilla extract, and brown sugar in a liquid measuring cup. Microwave that for 1 minute. Once everything is cooled, pour 1/2 of your mixture into your pan. The more evenly the sugar is distributed, the better. Place your rolls in next and add your cream/milk. I’d suggest pouring it along the sides of the pan. You want all your rolls about half submerged, but the tops need to stay milk free. Top everything with the other half of your butter mixture and bake at 350° F for 30-35 minutes.

Take your rolls out of the oven once all the dairy has been absorbed and the tops are light brown. Let them rest for 5 minutes. You can add the icing that came with them if you want or eat them as is.

Imma keep it a buck fifty with you, evil doers. Your favorite, fantastic, food villain is struggling a bit. It’s important to remember in times like these that thugs cry too. Holding it in will only make it worse. No matter how bad you think you are or how badly you think you’ve screwed up, I guarantee you know someone that’s willing to listen. Back during my dog years I moved to New England, lost my marbles, and a dude who couldn’t read had to talk me out of going to the great kitchen in the sky. I could have just gone to a therapist.

Your friends love you. Your family loves you. I like you as a henchman. The world can seem so hard to be in, and that feeling is totally normal. Fear and anxiety are spreading like crack in the 80s. Try to keep things fun when you can. For some of us, that’s an orange fire lizard named Pyro and a bit of canned bread.
