How this recipe came about:
I found a wonderful looking raspberry sweet roll that made my mouth water this morning. As I looked at the recipe ingredients, I had all of them, but ..... boy did kneading, rising bla bla bla... look like a lot of work. So, my
I took 10 oz of frozen raspberries, and added 1/4 cup of sugar (I used Splenda), and about 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. (This made enough for about 30 pastries!)
Now for the difficult part... the dough. Wait! I had a roll of refrigerator biscuits that I didn't know what to do with! Perfect!!
Since I had rolled sweet rolls in my head, I put the 10 rolls together to make one long section of dough,
then pinched all of the ends together.
I added half of the raspberry mix, and then ended up scooping 2-3 T off as I rolled it up!
I sliced the dough log into 10 sections and placed on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. I gave them one final generous sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.
I baked them at 400 degrees for 13 minutes, added a very small dab of cream cheese frosting and....
Hmmm... my "pinching" job didn't hold too well.
However, the rolls were wonderful!!
YUM. Not too sweet, not too tart. Just right!
Easy, and mouthwatering, just what I was going for!
You can see the results of my second attempt in the first photo! Much nicer looking in my opinion. There you have it. My morning of experimentation! My family seemed to like the results as well.
Have you ever experimented with a recipe with great results? Or maybe your results were more humorous than tasty? I'd love to hear your stories!
Have a Happy Last Friday of 2011!
