Pork Roll: Bacon Cinnamon Rolls By Rainy Day Gal

IMGP1188

CakeSpy Note: This is a guest post from Rainy Day Gal (a.k.a. Jenny Miller), a fellow Seattle blogger with a major sweet tooth. Her current endeavor is "The 12 Days of Bakemas"--12 days, 12 recipes, and 12 million dirty dishes."

Yeah, you heard me.

You're not going to believe these. And you're really not going to
believe how ridiculously easy they are to make. My nine-month old could
bake em.

You need two ingredients:

IMGP1179

1. Bacon.

IMGP1180

2. Cinnamon rolls. I swear by these "Grands" Cinnabon doodleybobs.

Of course, if you're feeling ambitious, you could always make your
own
. But if you're exhausted, have been picking up Cheerios off the
floor for two months, and have no energy to shower let alone make your own
dang cinnamon rolls, stick with me.

First, fry up that bacon. Not all the way--give it sort of a half-fry. You
don't want to make it too crunchy because it'll snap when you try to roll
it up into those cinnamonny buns. Plus, it'll cook more in le oven.

IMGP1184

Let it drain on paper towels. For big cinnamon rolls, you'll need two
slices of bacon per roll. For the tiny guys, you just need one.

IMGP1185

Pop that can. How I looove that sound. Separate the rolls.

IMGP1186

Unroll them on a piece of parchment paper or a big ol' cutting board.

IMGP1187

Lay the bacon strips across the dough....

IMGP1188

...roll 'em up...

IMGP1189

...lay them in a greased pan and bake according to package directions.

Sit by the oven and twiddle your thumbs.

IMGP1196

Ding! They're done!

IMGP1197

Frost 'em.

IMGP1198

Smell 'em.

IMGP1199

Ready?

IMGP1201

Set?

IMGP1203

SWOON.

IMGP1204

I think these things have to qualify as a religious experience. Someone
call the Vatican.

IMGP1202

And it's a crime how easy they are to make. Something this good you should
have to work for, right?

IMGP1200

Wrong.

Make these Christmas morning. Thank me later.

Happy 6th Day of Bakemas!

I am going to make these tomorrow morning as a Sunday Special at the Bakery...it will be so awesome with real pastry dough and applewood smoked bacon. I can't wait!

Sweet, savory and simple...a great combination!

With love and cupcakes,

Wow! That is one crazy combo - but no more than the place in Bellingham have serves maple donuts with bacon on top.

I gotta say, commenter Carri above sounds like she has the right idea ... Yum! (and I don't even eat bacon!)

This looks wonderful!!! It is on my to-do list very soon (I'm thinking for New Year's Day breakfast). Mmmm.

December 27 | Unregistered CommenterCheryl Wray

Seriously intrigued by this recipe...I'm also with Cheryl Wray: this will be our New Year's Day breakfast.

I posted a link to this on my FB page and people went nuts!

December 28 | Unregistered CommenterDori

I think this is a perfect New Year's morning recipe -has the makings of a good hangover banisher!

(And as the mom of a now 2-year-old, the cheerio pick-up routine never ends. At least it hasn't in my house!)

Good Gravy, that looks amazing, must attempt to construct the hypnotizing spiral of death....

a little freaked out about sweet and pork...but will try....getting ingredients tomorrow....getting it made Sunday...shivering with excitement....hoping to not be nauseous and regretful....hehe.

Thanx for the push!

January 1 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

Hahahahahaha!

Yet again, the golden rule is proved- BACON CAN MAKE ANYTHING BETTER!

January 3 | Unregistered CommenterSelena SaberWind

These very cinnamon buns are cooking in my oven as I type. I'm nearly drooling now...
