Frosted Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Reviewed on Mar. 23, 2013 by gillettcookie

I've been making Paula Deen's rolls for the last few years. These are so much better. After the initial "accident" of the dough spilling over in the bread machine, ( a TBSP of yeast?!) I think I might reduce the yeast next time. But this will definitely be in my favorite folder!! :)

Ha-It wasn't showing as submitting and I kept adding, here is the final revew... I found this recipe when it was first published back in 2000 and have used it since! It's quick, easy, and everyone loves it. Yes, I add a bit more to the filling. I put a dash of Cardamom in with the filling too. Everyone says they are different some how and loves the flavor. I used to send them with my ex-husband for hunting. His hunting buddies will still call to see if I can make them a batch.

Delicious! After cutting the rolls and putting them in the pan, I put them in the fridge overnight (covered tightly with plastic wrap). Then in the morning I used Alton Brown's method for proofing overnight cinnamon rolls--boil about 2 quarts of water. Pour into a shallow pan placed on the bottom rack of the oven. Put rolls on top rack and let rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled. Take rolls and pan of water out of oven. Preheat oven, then bake rolls. It was nice to have homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast without having to be up at the crack of dawn to start them!

Amazing! I would like a bit more filling, but then again, they werent too gooey that it was overwhelming. The frosting was divine.... MMM!! I'm glad I have some in the freezer!

Wow. I used All-purpose flour as that's all I had but it was still great!

This was my first attempt making cinnamon rolls from any recipe and I will look no further because these are wonderful. My 14 year old son calls them "amazing".

Forgot to mention- It seems easier to me to bake these rolls on a 17x11 cookie sheet. Fits all rolls on one pan. I also bake them on parchment paper to make removing clean and easy.

I've tried many different cinnamon roll recipes that people have told me were "the best" but I never agreed with any of them until this one. They are absolutely delicious and the best thing is, they are easy because the dough mixes in your bread machine and there are no steps like "scald milk", etc. The only difference I have made in the recipe is using all purpose flour instead of bread flour because that's what I had on hand but they have come out perfect every time. I'm making them right now. YUM!

This was a wonderful recipe, my Family loved it, compared it to the ones at the mall. I made it again Vegan for a Family friend who is allegic to milk and dairy, and it was just as good. This is now my only recipe for cinnamon rolls!

These rolls are so delicious. I am never buying store ones again. My family and I enjoyed them very much. I had to freeze some so we wouldn't eat them all.

Excellent - made them for Christmas breakfast.

At first, we were a little weirded out by putting pudding mix in the dough, but they turned out really well! We ended up with 15 or so rolls, not 21. The frosting is fantastic, and if we were to change anything it would be to leave a little of the butter out of the frosting and make a little more filling. Thanks!

This recipe makes a great, easy to work with dough! My family does not like cream cheese, however, so I just used milk and confectioner's sugar to make the glaze.

Delicious! I don't make yeast breads that often and these were suprisingly easy. I will be making these again. The frosting is the best part!

We really liked these. I couldn't really get them out of the pan, but once I did we really enjoyed them.

I have probably made this recipe 50 times in the last number of years. I either let it mix in the bread machine or double the recipe and mix it in my Kitchen Aide. These make excellent gifts to teachers or friends after the birth of a child, or to bring to a church breakfast. This recipe is definately a keeper!

I've been making these for years, They are probably the most requested baked good I make. In fact in 2 weeks we're having a "cinnamon roll morning" neighbors come over for rolls and coffee. I have changed this recipe a bit. I substitute instant cheese cake for the vanilla pudding and honey for the sugar, and I bake them @ 325* instead of 350*. I think they come out softer. These are definitely the best cinnamon rolls ever!!!

P.S. I use my bread machine to mix the dough.

I just made these rolls, and they are very good! I would have given them five stars, but I would like a little chewier roll. Mine were a little dry, but I think it's my fault, and next time I will add more water (like the recipe suggests) during the mixing stage. The icing is delicious, and my family loves them! I don't make yeast breads, and I found this recipe very easy!

These are soo good!!! Made the dough inthe breadmaker, then baked in oven. the vanilla pudding makes a nice sweet dough, and the cream cheese icing is awesome. I mixed the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon all together to make a paste, then spread it on the rolled out dough, rather than sprinkle it on. Its easier, and you get a more even cover of filing. Have made these twice now!

These are absolutely delicious.....the kids absolutely devoured them. The only things I did differently: I used all purpose flour (out of bread flour) so I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon yeast, and I used a 17 X 11 cookie sheet which fit all the rolls nicely. This is not, however, a weekday breakfast. From start to finish, it's approximately 3 hours including bread machine and rising time. It's not a difficult or labor intensive recipe....just one that requires patience.

thanks for the tips I too have a kitchen aid and not a bread machine. Im making these with my 6yr son and his buddy for their sleep over.

I just love these rolls! They really do taste like the store at the mall. I had to adjust the recipe a little bit, b/c I don't have a bread machine, I do have a kitchen aid stand mixer, so it wasn't difficult at all. I heated the milk and butter, until warm, and butter was almost melted, meanwhile I put the warm water with the yeast in the bowl to dissolve. I then added the rest of the dough ingredients, and turned my mixer on. I added the milk mix, and had to add about a cup more of flour, and mixed for about 10 min, until the dough pulled away from the sides of bowl. By the way, I did not have bread flour, I used all purpose flour, and it turned out fantastic. I do recommend this recipe, I have tried a few cinnamon roll recipes, and so far this is the best, I am now done searching! Thanks so much!!

These are the best cinnamon rolls you will ever have! You get flavor and icing in every bite! They reheat nicely in the microwave too. No more store bought rolls here!
