1. Cinnamon Buns Like Cinnabons
1 1/2 Cup granulated sugar
3 Tbl ground cinnamon
2 .25 Pkts active dry yeast
1 Tsp granulated sugar
1 Cup 110 degree water
1 Cup warm milk
2/3 Cup granulated sugar
2/3 Cup melted butter OR margarine
2 Tsp salt
2 eggs - slightly beaten
Up to 8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup melted butter OR margarine
1 1/2 Cup chopped walnuts OR pecans
1/2 Cup melted butter OR margarine
1/3 Cup granulated sugar
4 Cup powdered sugar
2/3 Cup melted butter
2 Tsp vanilla extract
1 Tsp maple extract
Up to 6 Tbls. hot water
Mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar and the cinnamon; set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp. sugar in warm water; set aside. In a large bowl, mix together milk, 2/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup melted butter, salt, and eggs; add yeast mixture and 4 cups of flour to mixture; beat until smooth; stir in enough flour to form a slightly stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for 8 minutes.
Place dough into a large greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.Punch down dough and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll dough out onto a floured surface into a 15" X 20" rectangle. Brush 1/2 cup melted butter over dough; sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over dough; sprinkle nuts evenly over dough, if desired.
Tightly roll up dough and pinch edges together to seal; cut the roll into 12 - 15 slices using dental floss or thread. Coat the bottom of a 13" X 9" X 2" baking pan with 1/2 cup melted butter; sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar evenly in the bottom of the pan. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the prepared pan; cover pan and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. Bake rolls in a 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Stir together powdered sugar, 2/3 cup melted butter, and extracts; stir in hot water, 1 Tbls. at a time, until the glaze reaches desired spreading consistency. Spread prepared icing over slightly cooled rolls.
Note: This recipe is a lot of work, but worth every scrumptious mouthful! |
2. Applebees Baked French Onion Soup
3 Tbl vegetable oil
6 medium white onions, sliced
8 Cup beef broth (Swanson is best)
1 Cup water
2 1/2 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp garlic powder
1/4 Tsp ground black pepper
5 plain hamburger buns
10 Slice provolone cheese
10 Tsp shredded parmesan cheese
1. Add 3 tablespoons oil to a large soup pot or saucepan over medium/high heat. Add the sliced onions and saut for 20 minutes until the onions begin to soften and start to become translucent. You don't want them to brown.
2. Add the beef broth, water, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to the pan and bring mixture to a boil. When soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
3. To make the croutons cut off the top half of each top of the hamburger bun so that the bread is the same thickness as the bottom half of each bun. Throw the tops away. Now you should have 10 round pieces of bread -- 5 bottom buns, and 5 top buns with the tops cut off. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the bread in the the oven directly on the rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until each piece is golden brown and crispy. Set these croutons aside until you need them.
4. When the soup is done, spoon about 1 cup into an oven-safe bowl. Float a crouton on top of the soup, then place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the crouton. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the provolone.
5. Place the bowl into your oven set to high broil. Broil the soup for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown (you may need to broil longer if you are making more than one bowl at a time). Sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the top of the soup and serve. Repeat process to prepare remaining servings.
