All right, you guys. We are flying by
0:02
the seat of our pants today. I have no
0:04
idea. I ran across this recipe going
0:08
through social media and Kristen's
0:11
Friends Cooking made cinnamon rolls
0:14
using boxed cake mix. Now, I've seen
0:17
this before and the people doing it
0:20
didn't do a really great job. Not enough
0:22
for me to want to make it, but she made
0:25
them and they look like an honest to
0:27
goodness cinnamon roll.
0:30
So, we're going to take a box of cake
0:33
mix. I'm using yellow.
0:36
And this is Baker's Corner Classic
0:39
yellow. This came from Aldi. I had it.
0:43
So, luckily enough, we're going to use
0:44
it. That's how simple this recipe is.
0:48
You pretty much almost have everything
0:50
for it. So, just dump that in a large
0:53
mixing bowl. Now, from what I
0:55
understand, we need to tighten that up
0:57
because cinnamon rolls need to be
0:58
tightened up to form the roll, right?
1:00
Not loose like a cake. Not nice and
1:03
fluffy. All right. So,
1:06
she adds 2 and 1/2 cups of flour.
1:10
Now, I cannot find where she says what
1:13
type of flour. So, we're going to be
1:14
using what I have right here, which is
1:16
allpurpose flour.
1:19
So, we're just going to go in and dig
1:21
deep.
1:22
All right. All right, let me get him a
1:24
knife.
1:26
That always works better.
1:28
All right, I'm super excited about this
1:30
one. Thomas loves cinnamon rolls. And
1:35
for this to be a really easy recipe, I
1:38
can't wait to make it cuz they look
1:39
good. And I just jumped up off the couch
1:42
and came right in here to put this one
1:44
together for you guys.
1:46
Thomas is behind the camera.
1:51
He wants to see this one come together.
1:53
He does. All right. I got two. And then
1:56
we're going to go in with half.
2:00
Now, since I'm using allpurpose flour,
2:03
we're going to be using some yeast to go
2:05
in there.
2:07
And she put that in also. She put in
2:09
instant yeast.
2:11
One package. So, I have this right here,
2:14
which is active dry yeast. So, we're
2:17
going to add that in.
2:20
What do y'all think?
2:23
I'm withholding judgment.
2:27
What do y'all think?
2:30
I know. I'm excited.
2:33
All right. Goes our yeast. That's what
2:36
she said. I guess the next step is to
2:38
take your whisk, blend that together.
2:42
I hope I have a big enough bowl.
2:45
If not, we'll change it out.
2:49
Yay! More dishes.
2:56
All right, I'm digging deep for there.
2:58
All right, let's see what else is going
2:59
on.
3:01
We're going to add some warm milk. Very
3:04
warm, not hot or anything. Something you
3:07
would feed a baby. That's what they say.
3:10
One cup.
3:14
I just put it in the microwave for about
3:16
60 seconds. Check it every so often
3:18
before that 60 seconds ends and make and
3:20
stir it and make sure it's nice and
3:21
tendered. All right, we got a/4 cup of
3:25
melted butter
3:28
and then one egg.
3:32
Always crack it in a small bowl. Make
3:35
sure there's no shells and make sure
3:37
it's a nice fresh egg.
3:40
Boop. There we go. All
3:42
right, I'm going to take this mixer
3:45
right here
3:47
and go in
3:49
until it's just too thick to do it.
3:52
Break up that yolk.
3:56
We're just going to start it
4:00
now. Just mix as much as you can and
4:03
then what we're going to do is knead the
4:05
rest of it.
4:08
And you just do it by hand. So, what I'm
4:12
going to do is take all the dough off
4:15
here. Make sure your hands are nice and
4:17
clean.
4:19
Oh, it smells good. That classic yellow,
4:23
that flavor.
4:25
All right.
4:30
So, I'm going to go in and get all that
4:32
flour out.
4:34
And we're going to knead this for 3 to
4:36
four minutes till it's well
4:37
incorporated.
4:40
We want a nice smooth ball of dough was
4:43
what she said.
4:46
All right, I'm just going to go in
4:50
just kind of pull it all to you
4:56
and fold it.
5:00
Want all that cake mix incorporated. You
5:03
can see that flour really tightens this
5:05
up.
5:07
That way we can roll this out.
5:12
All right, look at that, you guys.
5:21
All right, before we finish with the
5:23
dough, we are going to make that brown
5:26
sugar butter mixture for inside these
5:29
simols. So, we're going to take a stick
5:32
of butter.
5:34
Make sure it's very soft butter.
5:38
We're going to put it into a bowl.
5:45
Honestly, that dough smells so good. Can
5:47
you imagine the flavors?
5:50
All right, I'm putting this in my Ziploc
5:52
bag in the freezer so that I can do
5:53
casserole dishes with it. We're going to
5:56
put in half a cup of brown sugar. I'm
5:59
going to pack it.
6:02
I'm using a/4 cup here, so I'm going in
6:04
twice.
6:06
There we go. And then we're going to put
6:08
in one tablespoon
6:10
of ground cinnamon.
6:14
There we go. Y'all put as much as you
6:17
want in there. And then a pinch of salt.
6:22
We're going to mash this all together.
6:26
That way this will be ready to go.
6:29
Oh, that smells good, too.
6:34
All right, we're going to set that aside
6:36
for just a second.
6:39
All right, got some flour.
6:42
Just spread it over your clean work
6:44
surface.
6:46
Pretty big surface there.
6:50
And then we're going to take our dough
6:53
and we're going to be kneading it
6:56
as we're pushing it out into a long
7:01
rectangle. I'm going to take some more
7:03
flour.
7:05
I'm going to do this for just a little
7:06
bit and then I'm going to go get my
7:07
rolling pin and roll it out.
7:10
I'm going to keep making sure that my
7:11
work surface is nice and flowered
7:13
underneath.
7:15
Just roll it out.
7:18
We want it long.
7:22
You want to make sure that this is all
7:24
the same size.
7:27
That way they cook nice and even.
7:30
I'm just going to take my bench scraper
7:32
here and I'm just going to
7:35
cut off any excess to get that
7:37
rectangular shape.
7:40
I think that'll do it right there.
7:43
Hey, look at that. Perfect. All right.
7:46
Now, what we're going to do is take this
7:48
mixture and spread it out. And I'm going
7:51
to use an offset spatula.
7:57
And then just smear it out very
7:59
carefully
8:01
over the whole thing.
8:05
I like how it's holding its shape.
8:07
That's nice.
8:10
This is going to be very thin.
8:12
So, we're just going to keep going at it
8:14
until we get it nice and even and fill
8:17
in all the spaces.
8:19
Now, we need to roll this. So, starting
8:21
on your end, on the long end, we're
8:24
going to take it and just peel it off
8:26
the work surface there.
8:29
And then, we're going to start rolling
8:30
it nice and tight
8:36
till we get to the other end.
8:40
Y'all, I like the form of this. It's
8:43
almost like a dough. It's working.
8:47
Oh my god,
8:47
it is a dough.
8:49
All right, we're gonna roll it all the
8:50
way to the end.
8:54
Kind of pinch that on.
8:57
All right, I'm going to take my bench
8:58
scraper. I'm going to cut off the ends.
9:05
All right, we're going to find the
9:07
center and cut it.
9:11
Find the center and cut it.
9:17
All right, I'm just going to set them up
9:20
for just a second.
9:23
Now, you should be cutting these in nine
9:26
pieces. I got eight. They're probably a
9:28
little bigger than they should be.
9:30
That's okay. I put the two ends together
9:33
and got one whole one right there. Now,
9:35
we're going to bring over a baking dish
9:37
that's a 9 by13.
9:41
All right, we've got my butter wrapper,
9:43
and I'm just going to coat the whole pan
9:47
here.
9:50
Go all the way up. You don't want these
9:52
to stick
9:56
if you don't have a butter wrapper,
9:57
which I wouldn't know why you wouldn't.
9:59
You can use non-stick cooking spray if
10:00
you want to for this, but hey, you
10:02
already have it. It's free.
10:06
All right, let's set these up in here.
10:13
We'll put three of them together.
10:27
Now, we need to let these rise. So,
10:29
we're going to put some plastic over it.
10:32
or you can use a towel. Put it in a nice
10:34
cool spot and we're going to rise these
10:38
for 40 minutes
10:41
and we'll be back.
10:45
All right, we're going to take off the
10:46
towel off the plastic.
10:49
Now, she didn't expect too much of a
10:51
rise, so that's what we're looking at
10:53
right here. Now, we took some melted
10:56
butter,
10:58
which was the rest of that stick. So,
11:01
this is half a cup, a/4 of a cup, sorry,
11:04
1/4 of a cup with couple tablespoons of
11:06
brown sugar. And we're just going to
11:09
coat the tops of these.
11:13
Let them drip down.
11:17
When hers came out of the oven, they
11:19
look delicious.
11:23
And we still got to make a delicious
11:25
glaze for these, too.
11:29
Yeah, these look so good. We're going to
11:32
see.
11:35
All right, you guys. I got my oven
11:36
preheated at 350°. We're going to bake
11:39
these for 18 to 20 minutes, and then
11:43
we're going to glaze them up. I'm going
11:45
to show you how to make that glaze.
11:48
All right, let's make that glaze.
11:49
because my cinnamon rolls just came out
11:51
of the oven. I had to give them another
11:53
five minutes and I think they're
11:55
perfectly done. So, in a small bowl,
11:58
I've got
12:00
one cup of powdered sugar. Now, I'm
12:03
going to add just a little bit of milk,
12:05
probably two tablespoons, cuz you can
12:07
always add more or you can always add
12:09
more powdered sugar if you need it.
12:12
Little drizzle of vanilla extract.
12:16
Flavor that drizzle up. We're just going
12:18
to take a small whisk, blend this
12:21
together.
12:23
Thomas can't wait.
12:25
He's like He's like, "Hurry up. I want
12:27
to eat one." So,
12:30
they smell really good.
12:31
I'm going to add a little bit more milk.
12:34
Ah, let's see. Yeah, that's going to
12:37
drizzle right on perfectly. Let me bring
12:39
them over for y'all y'all can see what
12:41
they look like.
12:43
Voila.
12:46
There we go, you guys. I put a toothpick
12:49
through them and they are solid. They
12:51
look delicious.
12:55
Let me hold this up for you.
12:57
They look like my kind of uh cinnamon
13:00
rolls with attitude.
13:01
Hey, they look pretty darn good, don't
13:03
they?
13:04
Yeah, they look like they got attitude.
13:06
We're gonna We're going to go with that.
13:08
And we're going to go ahead and get this
13:09
drizzle on. Oh, yeah. There we go.
13:12
That's what I'm talking about.
13:20
You got to be fast with it. Thin it out
13:22
with some more milk.
13:25
Oh, these are nice and warm right out of
13:27
the oven, you guys. They're going to
13:28
melt.
13:29

13:31
All right, let's get one out.

"Would you hurry up with those?"
14:38
