Christmas Morning Rolls

These have been a tradition in our home for years. My mom would labor away at these on Christmas Eve every year to hand out to our friends. And of course she'd save a batch for us to eat on Christmas morning. Mmmm, I couldn't wait.

In our home we've decided to make them on the 23rd so we're not so rushed on Christmas Eve. Still just as good and just as easy.

Christmas Morning Rolls

1 bag of frozen bread dough
1 small box of Butterscotch pudding mix
a few tablespoons of cinnamon
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups butter

Butter a pan. Place the frozen dough in it. When it thaws slightly cut it into 1 inch pieces. Sprinkle with pudding mix. Sprinkle cinnamon all over it.

Melt butter and brown sugar together and pour over rolls. Yes you need all that butter and sugar. The more the merrier. Cover with a dish rag and let rise several hours. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Be sure to put a pan underneath it with a silpat on it. If you've added the right amount of butter and sugar it will probably spill over and make a mess of your stove and then start to smoke and make your rolls taste not so good. Use a silpat to prevent burning. Life is so much easier!
