Tip for bake-and-serve cinnamon rolls

Before you pop them in the oven, top each one with a thin slice of butter. It makes them much yummier!

I'm no baker and will never make them from scratch. Cheers to those that do.

I like the ones with orange icing.

Am getting ready to bake a peanut butter cake. You can use a cake mix. I am wondering which would be easier.

Making a peanut butter pie in the morning. Birthday request.

And never bring any home. But now you made me hungry for cinnamon rolls.

You ever baked a peanut butter cake? Saw it on The Kitchen. She put Tahini in it.

I've never made a peanut butter cake or really, any legit cake. I sometimes make a one-layer cake from a Bis-Kit packet and mess around with different icings/glazes but that's as far as I go.

You would do it. Just add eggs and oil. Strawberry. They even have pudding to make them softer.

Just do not over bake! My oven cooks fast so I do not use their timing suggestion.

Also I live in a somewhat high elevation location so that affects my limited baking.

But they still came out a little on the hard side even when I cut down on bake time and/or lowered the oven temp. The butter slices work wonders.
