You probably have by no means tried a butterflake roll earlier than, one of the simplest ways I can describe this recipe is maple cinnamon rolls mixed with a flaky pull-apart dinner roll. 

We love the simplicity of a butterflake roll, however toss in a thick cinnamon combination and a candy maple glaze and overlook in regards to the regular rolls, we’re speaking a mashup between cinnamon rolls and maple bars!! It’s the brand new creation, Maple Glazed Cinnamon Butterflake Rolls!

Talking of cinnamon rolls, you have to bake my apple cinnamon rolls as nicely! Perhaps not all on the identical day, however these are equally as scrumptious! 

These Maple Glazed Cinnamon Butterflake Rolls have two choices, a heavy maple glaze like a maple bar, or a really mild glaze in the event you’re on the lookout for one thing that isn’t as wealthy. Each are scrumptious, however for the lighter glaze simply use extra liquid and a sew much less maple extract.

Our children like to make these with me however the kitchen shears snipping via the dough with little fingers round does make me a bit nervous with our youthful youngsters, so we now have a deal. I do all of the slicing and so they get to get their arms all sticky and messy by rubbing the butter cinnamon combination all around the rolls earlier than we bake them.

Methods to Bake with Rhodes Rolls

Rhodes rolls are such a simple hack for baking, however some folks get a bit flustered as a result of though they don’t need to make the dough, they find yourself quick on time nonetheless. That’s as a result of the rolls nonetheless want to take a seat out and rise. It’s frozen dough, so please be sure you account for that point. With thawing, rising and baking, the full time shall be roughly 4 hours.

As soon as the rolls have turn into comfortable and fluffy you possibly can proceed with the recipe, however they might want to do a remaining rise earlier than they hit the oven. Don’t panic, I like recipes like this for a motive.

Maple Glaze

The maple glaze is rather like a maple bar.

That’s as a result of the extract is a extra concentrated taste. 

You may make your glaze as thick or as skinny as you’d like. It type of depends upon my temper. Typically we would like these extra like dessert and we make it thick like a maple bar, whereas different occasions it’s going alongside a winter savory meal and we skinny issues out.
