AMAZING Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls are absolutely DIVINE!!! I would recommend these to everyone. They take 90 minutes to 2 hours to make though so if you want to get them done in time for breakfast you probably will have to get up early. Please note this recipe is not mine just slightly tweaked.

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Rolls:                                               
3/4 cup milk                                                                                                                                

1/4 cup butter softened                                                    

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup water          

1 egg

1 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup butter, softened

 Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in butter; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened butter. Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Spread dough with margarine/sugar mixture. Roll up dough . Cut into 12 equal size rolls and place cut side up in brownie pan. (Bigger is better) Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned. Remove from muffin cups to cool. Serve warm

Super Awesome Secrets To a Super Awesome Cheesecake

Some people say that making a cheesecake is hard. I don't say that. But what I do think is making a cheesecake not crack is hard. Of course what do I know? I've only made one cheesecake before. But here are some tips to making an awesome cheesecake.

1. Mixing in eggs
When you add the eggs do it in a pattern of adding an egg then mix. Add another egg than mix. If you don't your cheesecake will turn out all lumpy.

2. Getting your cheesecake to not crack
As I said getting your cheesecake not to crack is super hard. Some tips are:
     a. When you bake your cheesecake leave the oven door open a little bit.
     b. Also when you bake the cheesecake fill a small pan with water and put it under the rack that your cheesecake is on.

3. Making the crust
When you make the crust the easiest way to get it fine enough for the recipe is to take a few graham crackers and put them in a Ziploc freezer bag. Close the bag securely. Then take a rolling pin and roll over the graham crackers. When you think it's fine enough and there is enough to make the crust open the bag and pour them into a measuring cup to see if there is the right amount of crumbs. If you have too much then throw the extra away. If you have to little just put in some more graham crackers and keep rolling!

4. Don't sweat it
I've never made a cheesecake that hasn't cracked so if it does just cover the crack up with a topping. I suggest whipped cream. Of course don't do what I did when I made the whipped cream. I accidently forgot to add sugar. So we were pretty much eating whipped milk.

Baker Buzz

Hi I'm Victoria and loooooove to bake. This blog will feature some of my favorite recipes and tips for making even the hardest recipes easy! Let's start with this recipe for an AWESOME pie that I made the other day. It's an egg custard pie.  It tastes like a Hispanic food that my family makes called flan. I always believe that making a homemade crust is best tasting. Of course you don't have to if you don't want to. Please note these are not my recipes just slightly tweaked.

Ingredients
Filling
3 eggs
1 can (12 fluid ounces) evaporated milk
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
Crust
1 and 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter chilled (diced if wanted)
1/4 cup ice water
1 teaspoon vanilla

In no specific order mix all ingredients together in a largish bowl. The pour mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Once butter is mostly melted set aside. Start on the crust. Mix the flour and salt together. Then prepare a cup of ice water and add vanilla to the water. Use your fingers to mash the butter into the flour/salt mixture until the mixture resembles crumbs. Pour the water/vanilla mixture into the crumbly dough stuff. DO NOT POUR IN THE ICE. ;) Knead the dough until it sticks together. Then wrap in plastic wrap and put into the fridge for half an hour. Take it out and roll it out into a circle and place in a pie pan. Use a knife to cut off any excess dough. Give the filling a quick mix to get the skin off and pour into the crust. Bake the whole thing at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until the top is browned. Tastes awesome hot or cold. Enjoy!
