Butter Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls are made with a cake mix! Easy and delicious!
Servings: 12 servings
- 2 1/2 cups of warm water
- 2 packages of active dry yeast
- 1 15.25 ounce box of Vanilla cake mix I used Betty Crocker
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 1/2-5 cups of flour
- 4 tablespoons of butter melted
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 cup of chopped pecans
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
-
Pour yeast into warm water and stir. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Add cake mix, vanilla extract, and 4 1/2 cups of flour. Knead until the dough is easily manageable. Add the other 1/2 cup of flour if the dough is still too sticky. Roll dough into a large ball and place in a greased bowl, and cover (I use a dish towel). Let it rise till it doubles in size (it usually takes an hour or so for me). While the dough rises, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans.
-
After the dough has doubled, punch down, remove it from the bowl and divide it into two pieces. On a floured surface, roll one section of the dough out into a rectangle with 1/4 inch thickness. Spread half the melted butter and half the brown sugar cinnamon over the dough. Roll the dough up lengthwise. Cut in slices and place in greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Cover with a dish towel and let them rise until doubled in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
