yum yum yummy

last night, i made the easiest recipe of cinnamon rolls ever... and surprisingly, everyone liked them! I'll let ya'll in on the secret:

ingredients:

• 4 rolls of the Pillsbury "big and flaky" crescent rolls (make sure to get the big and flaky kind because the original don't turn out as well. i learned this last night too)
• box of brown sugar
• 1 stick melted butter
• ground cinnamon
• "toppings"--whatever you would like to add. I added:
• raisins
• pecans
• mini chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to make the deliciousness:
*i didn't take pictures while i made them last night, so i drew some to better explain when my words fall short

• preheat your oven to 400 degrees (or however high is instructed on the crescent dough container)
• Roll out each container of dough separately. Make each roll of dough one piece by pushing together the perforated edges together.... i hope that makes sense.

• brush melted butter over the dough
• sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and toppings on. Be creative. Do as much or as little as you want. If you're like me, you will sprinkle on wayy too much.... can't deny a sweet-tooth!
• When you are done with your sugar, cinnamon, and toppings, roll the dough into one big roll with the sweet stuff in the middle.

• cut the big roll into pieces, however thick you want them to be, and place them in a well-buttered pyrex pan.

• repeat this for every roll of dough until your pyrex is full!
• stick 'em in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is brown.
• tick tock tick tock... bing! They're done!... but not yet.

• while your buns are cooling down, make some quick icing to sprinkle on top:
• put the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a bowl and whisk until it's a thick, icing consistency. 
• put your, now warm, cinnamon rolls onto a serving platter and drizzle with icing. Feed to the masses and report back to me with the results. I hope you like them!
