Morning Waffled Cinnamon Rolls
Waking up in the morning is so much better when the smell of warm cinnamon and brown sugar is wafting through the air. Baking cinnamon rolls in the oven can seem to take an eternity, but when you waffle them, they are ready in about 3 minutes. The dough needs an hour to rise, though, so if you are in a hurry, prepare it the night before.
Makes 20 rolls
TOOLS:
• Electric mixer
• Electric mixer
Tips
The dough can be prepared through step 3 and refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.
If the sugar mixture gets messy in the waffle iron as you cook the cinnamon rolls, carefully use a damp paper towel or a moistened silicone pastry brush to wipe out drips between batches and prevent burnt sugar from sticking to the rolls.
INGREDIENTS:
Cinnamon Rolls
- All-purpose flour
- 1 lb frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
- Nonstick cooking spray
Icing
- 1⁄2 cup confectioners’ (icing) sugar
- 11⁄4 tsp butter, softened
- 1 tbsp brick-style cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 tsp milk
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Rolls: Lightly flour work surface. Roll out dough into an 18- by 6-inch (45 by 15 cm) rectangle and brush with melted butter.
2. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and brown sugar. Evenly sprinkle over dough.
3. Starting at a long edge, roll dough into a log. Press seam to seal. With seam side down, cut roll into 20 pieces. Arrange rolls about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on work surface and cover with a clean tea towel. Let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat waffle maker.
5. Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. In batches, arrange rolls in waffle maker, leaving at least 2 inches (5 cm) in between them. Gently close lid (do not squeeze) and cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown outside and edges no longer look wet. Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining rolls, spraying waffle maker as necessary between batches.
6. Icing: In a small bowl, using electric mixer, cream confectioners’ sugar, butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Stir in milk, 1 tsp (5 mL) at a time, until glaze is smooth and your desired thickness.
7. Serve warm cinnamon rolls drizzled with icing.
