Who here enjoys a salty/sweet combination? I DO!! You might not know it by just checking out the picture, but those babies are filled with tiny bits of breakfast sausage. Yes…sausage INSIDE the cinnamon rolls. What is this magic I speak of? Read on!
I had the opportunity to be a recipe tester for our local public media station, check out link here – http://www.witf.org/arts-life/2016/10/now-thats-a-mouthful.php Getting to bake something yummy and blab about it is right up my alley!
Out of about a dozen recipes to choose from, I can say these mouth-watering cinnamon rolls were calling my name. I remember as a kid devouring some sausage links after dipping them in REAL maple syrup (must be the genuine thing – sorry Aunt Jemima).
Although I can’t reveal the secret formula to this breakfast of champions, I can say it came from Big Bad Breakfast: The Most Important Book of the Day by John Currence. I will have to check out said book and perhaps expand my breakfast repertoire further.
Now on to the nitty-gritty – how do these taste? DELISH. The sausage is crumbled up pretty fine in the rolls, so those who don’t want a mouthful of salty but just want a touch of it will enjoy them. The roll is a nice fluffy yeast dough that came together beautifully, and the cream cheese icing is just tangy enough to let you know it’s in there.
I would make these again, and I know they’d be fabulous minus the sausage too as a just basic cinnamon roll.
I’d love to know – what salty/sweet match made in heaven is your favorite?
