For Foods Sake - Cinnamon Scrolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

[snappy]

I normally make half recipe because it makes way too much - I suspect the full recipe will be too big for the TMX to handle anyway.  The half recipe normally makes about 25 scrolls for me.

Ijust googled the pioneer woman's scrolls. How very decadent. All that butter. I think my cholesterol went up reading the recipe.

Ah yes, most of te Pioneer Womans recipes are special occasion only! She is feeding hungry ranch men, she can get away with it

Fair enough. I've signed up for her newsletter now.

I haven't made her scrolls but I have made a few of her savoury meals, I have a couple on this weeks list actually. Also have her book too.

The book is lovely, isn't it JulieO?

I didn't think I had a cook book fetish, but now looking at my bookshelf, I may have proved myself wrong

thanks for this .  I love the look of her food but staying away while on the diet.

Hi Snappy,
Can I please ask: When you half PW's recipe is everything halved?
I have been craving these scrolls for years, but wasn't possible because we were gluten free, but since finding out we tolerate spelt I am keen to try the things I've missed out on.
Thanks!

[snappy]

Yes abundanceatangas, I just halve everything and it turns out perfectly! They are so worth every calorie!

[abundanceatangas]

Thanks snappy, hopefully I'll get time to make these today - I can't wait!

[abundanceatangas]

Oh my, they are delicious!!!  I got myself a bit confused with the halving and only used a quarter of the melted butter and cinnamon in the scroll and they are still yummy yum yum.

The full recipe would make enough for an army!

I only used the tmx in the heating of the milk, but it was still a blessing because I probably would've boiled the milk if I did it on the stove.

Glad you liked them abundance!

I made this yesterday. I agree, they are a bit more dense and bready than I would have liked. I added a couple of tablespoons of milk to the frosting as I thought it looked a bit thick in the picture and the milk made it more of a drizzle.

Also, I think I didn't roll it into a long enough rectangle. Some measurements would be handy - a lot of scroll recipes indicate the approximate measurements of the rectangle.

Nobody was complaining though as we ate them post-rehearsal! Delicious.
