Christmas Breakfast: "Camper" Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe is an  obsession of Ben's side of the family. From what I can remember, it originated with Ben's grandma while camping out at the lake. Now, camping in my family consisted of tents and a very small arsenal of supplies, especially for cooking. Ben's family mostly camped in cabins and trailers out at Triangle Lake. For those of you who cook over a camp fire, despite it's name, this recipe requires an oven.

Camper Cinnamon Rolls are addicting and making them is fairly quick and super easy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 package (12) brown + serve rolls

Set your oven to preheat to 450 degrees.

Cut each roll in half twice (quarters).

Mix the cinnamon + sugar together.

Melt the butter and drizzle over quartered rolls. More butter makes for gooier bites, less makes for crispier bites.


Sprinkle the rolls with the sugar + cinnamon mixture  and stir to coat evenly.





Bake on a jelly roll pan (a cookie sheet with sides) for 2 1/2 minutes, turn with spatula, then bake for another 2 1/2 minutes.



Be careful as they will obviously be very hot. Eat fresh!



On Christmas Eve we ate them right off of the cookie sheet! Then I made them on Christmas morning for my side of the family for the first time. I think they liked them, as we went through 2 1/2 batches and we also had our traditional lefse!

Enjoy!

  1. I don't get it :)
    I don't know the concept of 'rolls'. what's that? can you buy it in packs? this doesn't seem to exist here. is it like a sandwich or something?

  2. regular Cinnamon Rolls are actually dough that's rolled up. Dinner Rolls, which are what the "brown and serve" rolls in this recipe are, are just bread that is only partially baked.
    You could make the bread yourself first. Brown and serve rolls come slightly doughy when you buy them and are usually only in the stores here in the states during the holidays.
