Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Found this on allrecipes.com and made them today in my breadmaker. MMMM.... They are just as good as Cinnabon for sure.

Dough:
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Filling:
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

Frosting:
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Raspberry Sour Cream Pancakes

These were yummy. I found the recipe and it originally had blueberries in them, but the frozen blueberries are more expensive then raspberries so I tried that. I also made the raspberry sauce to put on top, but I can't decide if I liked the raspberry sauce on top better then just maple syrup, they are both good.

Raspberry Sour Cream Pancakes

2 c. all-purpose flour
¼ c. sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
1 ½ c. milk
1 c. (8-oz) sour cream (I always bake with light sour cream)
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 to 1/2 c. fresh or frozen raspberries

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, sour cream, and butter; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the blueberries. Pour batter onto a greased hot griddle; flip when golden on bottom. Cook until the second side is golden brown.

Raspberry Sauce

Raspberry sauce:
1 cup of frozen raspberries
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp lemon zest, chopped finely
1-2 tbsp water


Combine ingredients in a small pan over medium heat. Cook until raspberries have melted down and thickens slightly.
