1.8K Shares

It’s EASY and quick to make and bake this copycat version of Marie Callender’s restaurants famous cornbread! Perfect side dish for soup, salad, or main course.

I received this recipe for a copycat version of Marie Callender’s Cornbread almost 20 years ago. My friend Sharon, from our church, gave me this recipe. I have no idea where she got the recipe, BUT I DO KNOW that it’s an excellent recipe for cornbread, AND tastes very similar to the cornbread served by the restaurant chain.

This cornbread rises very high, is slightly sweet, and absolutely delicious, just like the original! YUM! My husband and I enjoyed this cornbread last evening with our dinner… I like to drizzle it with honey; he likes to drizzle it with molasses. Either way… it’s GOOD and really easy to prepare!

We LOVE this bread, and I have made it many times over the years… it doesn’t take too long to make, and it’s very simple. Here’s a few pics during the process so you can see just how EASY it is to make homemade delicious cornbread.

How To Make The Cornbread

Ingredients can either be blended in a food processor or can be mixed by hand. If using food processor, process dry ingredients until blended. Drizzle in oil or add shortening, if using, processing until mixture is crumbly. When the mixture is crumbly, transfer it to a mixing bowl.

If you do not have access to a food processor, t’s easy to mix up the cornbread batter by hand. Place dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Mix in the oil with a fork OR cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.

Add eggs to the crumbly cornbread mixture. Stir Ingredients only until moistened. Don’t over-mix the batter.

Time To Bake the Cornbread

Pour the batter into a greased 9×9 baking pan, and then it’s ready to go into the oven! Bake the cornbread at 425 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes, until the cornbread is light golden brown on top.

Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the pan. If toothpick comes back out without wet batter on it, the cornbread should be done. Once the cornbread is removed from the oven, cut it into 9 equal sized 3″ pieces. It is ready to serve!

Here is a piece of the cornbread, split in half and adorned with butter, for a close-up view!

This is a perfect cornbread to serve alongside a big, hot, bowl of soup… (Mom’s Old-Fashioned Chili is a favorite of ours), a salad, or Pinto Beans And Ham . Really good, really easy… got it? Hope you’ll give it a try… I think you will love it!

It’s my favorite time of the year…Cold mornings, Nativity scenes, Christmas lights, Christmas trees, Christmas music, the wonder of small children as they experience the season, and Gingerbread Bagels… wait, what?

Yep… you heard me. Just let it sink in… GINGERBREAD BAGELS. I found the recipe for these yummy bagels last year on Pinterest and made them to enjoy. Since the holiday season has rolled around once again, I thought I would share the recipe with you.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

I share this recipe for gingerbread bagels with the hopes that you will consider giving them a try. Most of the prep time listed includes two rising times for the dough, so it isn’t ACTIVE prep time.

I put that disclaimer there so no one would freak out… not that anyone would during this busy time of year. See – you can wrap presents or run to the grocery store, or even sing a few Christmas carols while the dough is rising… it’s not so bad!

Gingerbread bagels (especially these with molasses and traditional gingerbread spices) seems like a natural fit with the holiday season, don’t you think?

How To Make Gingerbread Bagels

So here we go! Grab some coffee, tea or egg nog to sip on as you work, some cream cheese (to spread on the finished bagels), and make these gingerbread bagels… stat! Here’s a few pics of the process:

The gingerbread bagels dough is no problem to mix up using a stand mixer or electric beaters.

The gingerbread bagel dough is mixed, and now looks like the dough is ready to rise.

Let The Dough Rise

The dough is covered with dish towel and is rising in a warm spot. Yes, it happened to be sunny that day, so the dough rose out in the natural sunlight.

Gingerbread Bagels Are Formed, Boiled, Then Baked!

After the dough has risen, the gingerbread bagels are formed into round circulular shapes. A hole is formed in the middle of the dough. They are boiled briefly, then baked until done in the oven.

Once the gingerbread bagels have finished baking, they are transferred to a wire rack to cool down a bit.

Guess what the only other thing left to do is? That’s right! Slice one open, and grab the butter or the cream cheese! You’re gonna enjoy this homemade bagel!

You’re gonna enjoy every bite of these homemade, chewy, flavorful gingerbread bagels! These wonderful tasting bagels are nice and chewy… just like a true New York style bagel SHOULD always be!

Calories Per Serving: 336 kcal

Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Ingredients

For Bagels:

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (*might need a bit more more later)
2 packages Active Instant Yeast
1/2 cup warm (but not hot) water
1/4 cup milk , warmed
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 Tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 Tablespoon nutmeg
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 Tablespoon allspice
1 teaspoon salt

For Baking The Bagels:

1/2 cup corn meal
1 egg white , slightly beaten

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve the 2 packets of yeast in the warm (but not hot) water. Set aside for 5-6 minutes, until slightly foamy.
Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer. Add HALF of the flour, then add the yeast mixture, warm milk, molasses, brown sugar, and all of the spices and salt. Mix these ingredients on the medium setting on your mixer. Once the ingredients are combined, slowly add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. You want the dough to come together into a large dough ball. The dough should only be slightly "sticky". *This is where you can add a tiny bit more flour, if needed, to reach the right consistency. Turn mixer to medium-high. Mix dough until the dough becomes elastic in consistency. Take it slow. When ready, pour the dough into a bowl that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray or greased.
Cover bowl with a damp dish towel, place in a warm spot, and let dough rise until doubled in size.(usually about an hour).
When dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down. Separate into 8-10 equal-sized dough balls. Poke a hole into the center of each ball. Stretch the hole and the bagel out a bit until you have formed a bagel shape. Set the bagels onto a baking sheet; cover the bagels with a damp dish towel, place bagels in a warm spot, and let the dough rise again until doubled in size again.
Near the end of the second rise, preheat your oven to 415 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a full boil.
Once bagels have finished rising, carefully put 2-3 bagels at a time into the boiling water. Let them boil until they float to the top ( a couple of minutes). Remove bagels carefully from the boiling water (use a slotted spoon to drain water).
Place the cornmeal into a shallow dish. Dip the bottom of each boiled bagel into the cornmeal, then place each bagel onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each bagel with the beaten egg white.
Bake bagels at 415 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are a gorgeous golden brown. Remove bagels from oven to a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!

Homemade dinner rolls are soft, golden and buttery, and a perfect accompaniment to any meal. Recipe has directions to make by hand or bread machine.
Thanksgiving is almost here… that means it’s almost time to whip up a batch of these delicious Homemade Dinner Rolls, one of our family’s holiday traditions!

I make these homemade dinner rolls often throughout the year, but they are a tradition and always a big hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. Golden brown, soft on the inside, and absolutely amazing when served warm, with a bit of butter (or honey butter).

YUM! I am getting hungry just writing about these rolls! Here’s how to make them.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Homemade Dinner Rolls Can Be Made By Hand OR Bread Machine

I usually make the dough in my bread machine for the easiest way to prepare the dough, but it is also quite easy to make these by hand (with just a bit of mixing and kneading).

I’ve included instructions for making these BOTH ways in the printable recipe (below), and really hope you will consider making them, especially if you’ve never made dinner rolls before.

Most of the prep time involved is not ACTIVE prep time, it’s just waiting time, while the dough rises. Read an epic novel or eat an entire container of chocolate bonbons while the dough rises. Whatever floats your boat.

You’ll be glad you put the time in and made these delicious homemade dinner rolls! There’s just something about freshly baked bread that is perfect for any celebration!

Homemade Dinner Rolls Dough Is Made, Shaped, And Is Ready To Bake

Here are the rolls, ready to go into the oven. This is what they look like after dough has been mixed, and has risen to double the size. The dough has been formed into individual rolls.

I’ve placed these homemade dinner rolls in a large round pan, but you can also bake them on a cookie sheet or in a cake pan (for square rolls), if desired. I’ve done all of the above, at one time or another!

Baked In a ROUND Pan

Just out of the oven… golden brown homemade dinner rolls… ready to be brushed with additional butter. Yummy.

Baked On A 13×9 Baking Sheet

Here are some I made on a baking sheet (my favorite way to bake them). The top of the homemade dinner rolls have been brushed with melted butter and they are ready to serve! Don’t they look delicious? Trust me… they ARE delicious!

YUM! Hand me a homemade dinner roll please, and pass the butter… STAT!

The smell in the house while fresh bread dough is baking… honestly, it’s one of my favorite smells! If you enjoy homemade bread, I hope you will also check out my recipes for No Knead Bread (amazing!), or Miracle Bread. They are so good, and are both VERY EASY to make!!

These (also easy to prepare) homemade dinner rolls are wonderful! I really hope you will check out the recipe below, and give them a try. I really think you will LOVE them! Have a great day.

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Looking for a yummy breakfast treat? Try glazed homemade cinnamon rolls! Nothing says “comfort food’ like a warm, made from scratch cinnamon roll!
We had a dear friend staying with us from out of state last week. One morning for breakfast I made these Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, for an extra “sweet” start to the day. I LOVE cinnamon rolls, but don’t eat them too often! When I DO make them, they are a real treat, especially with a steaming big cup of Italian roast coffee.

I’ve made these cinnamon rolls for several years now, and am finally putting the recipe on my blog. This recipe makes 9 good sized cinnamon rolls, and they are delicious!

I made a glaze to top this batch of homemade cinnamon rolls, but in the past I’ve also made a cream cheese frosting, which is equally delicious!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Do I Have To Have A Bread Machine To Make Homemade Cinnamon Rolls?

You do NOT have to own a bread machine in order to make these homemade cinnamon rolls! I use my bread machine to make the dough, but recognize the fact that a lot of people don’t own a bread machine.

NOTE: I have included instructions in the note section of the recipe for those who wish to make these cinnamon rolls “by hand”.

Why Does It Take So Long?

Good things (especially dough) take time! If you’ve never made cinnamon rolls before, don’t be scared off by the “prep time” involved. Most of it is waiting for the dough to rise, so you could read an epic novel, paint your nails, or call a friend while you wait. Trust me.

Making Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

The dough is mixed (by machine or hand), and then the dough rises. After the dough has finished rising, it is rolled out into a 18×9 inch rectangle.

Spread softened butter onto the surface of the dough, then cover with a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Tightly roll the dough up tightly into a long long shape, and tuck the ends in, to seal.

Carefully cut the cinnamon roll dough log into 9 equal sized pieces.

Place the slices, cut side up, in a prepared baking pan. Cover the pan, and let the dough rise again.

Once the homemade cinnamon rolls have doubled in size, they are ready to bake!

The homemade cinnamon rolls bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven. Once done, a simple glaze is spread over the top of the rolls.

Time To Eat!

Here’s what one of the cinnamon rolls looks like on a plate. Each layer inside is coated with cinnamon, sugar and butter. Wow… these homemade cinnamon rolls are delicious!

Hope you will give this recipe for homemade cinnamon rolls a try. It is very economical to make these decadent treats, considering the cost of store-bought pastries these days.

Thanks for stopping by today, and invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, and have a GREAT day!

Category: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Keyword: pumpkin buttermilk doughnuts

Servings: 12 doughnuts (+ holes)

Calories Per Serving: 182 kcal

Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Ingredients

For doughnuts:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon butter , melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
Vegetable or canola oil (for frying)

For Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and pumpkin puree until well combined. Set aside.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well to combine fully. The dough will be somewhat sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin lightly coated with flour, roll the dough out until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into circles with a doughnut cutter (or a biscuit cutter or canning jar lid). Cut out a small center circle with a medicine jar lid or a very small cap. (these cutouts will become the doughnut holes). Now your dough circles should look like thin doughnuts.
Prepare the glaze for the doughnuts by mixing the powdered sugar, buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl. Set aside until doughnuts have been cooked.
To cook the doughnuts: In a large skillet, pour oil until it reaches a depth of 2 inches. Heat on medium-high (about 350 degrees). To test whether oil is hot enough, place a very tiny piece of dough into the oil to see if it bubbles. When hot enough, carefully place 2-3 doughnuts into oil (doughnuts should not touch each other). Cook doughnuts until edges are lightly browned, then carefully flip to the other side (I use 2 chopsticks to turn!). Cook the other side of the doughnut until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove doughnuts to a paper towel lined plate to drain, and continue to cook the other doughnuts until done. Repeat process with doughnut holes.
While doughnuts are still hot, dip the top side into the doughnut glaze. Let excess glaze drip off back into bowl. Place glazed doughnut onto a wire rack (glaze side UP) over a cookie sheet (to collect any drips), and let the doughnut glaze slightly dry and firm up before serving (just a few minutes).
Once glaze is firmed up, serve doughnuts and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Recipe will make at least 12 doughnuts and 12 doughnut holes.

You’re gonna love this easy, homemade Miracle Bread. The recipe makes two loaves and is so easy, even my son can make it! That’s gotta be some kind of MIRACLE!Today I am sharing a recipe I’ve used for making homemade French bread loaves the last couple of years. It’s called “Miracle Bread” and it is DELICIOUS!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

I found the recipe for this easy, simple French bread on the internet, from Gina at Home Joys. I’ve made it at least 10 times since then, and can heartily recommend this, EVEN if you’ve never baked bread before! The slices are fantastic toasted, or they can be used to make French Toast, also (YUM).

Miracle Bread Is So Easy To Make… It’s A Miracle!

I guess that’s the Miracle of it… even if you’ve NEVER made homemade bread before, you can make this delicious, and amazingly simple bread to enjoy! The loaves are wonderful sliced and warm, with butter. The recipe makes two loaves, so you can eat one and give the other one away (or freeze for later), if you want!

I love to bake this bread, especially in the Fall. One year I baked 8 loaves and wrapped them up really nicely and surprised several neighbors on our street and some friends with a loaf of warm, freshly baked Miracle bread.

It’s So Easy To Make Miracle Bread, Even Our Son Can Make It!

A couple years ago I taught our youngest son and his girlfriend how to make miracle bread! Some of the pictures shown below are from this fun morning! I sure hope you will try this recipe. You’ll be surprised at just how easy it is to make fresh, homemade Miracle Bread!

Okay… we’ve mixed the dough all together. I guess now we have to wait for it to rise? YEP! I personally think they are really cute bread makers!

Okay… this dough has risen and is rolled out. Are you saying I’m now supposed to roll this dough thing up like a log?

Rolling the miracle bread dough up… like a boss!

Now It’s Time To Bake The Miracle Bread!

Okay… the dough is rolled out, formed into loaves, and diagonal slits have been made on top of the loaves, and the dough has risen again. Time to bake!!!! Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes, and then it is DONE!

Hey- guess what? We just made homemade French bread… It’s a MIRACLE! Miracle Bread, that is!

Ready To EAT!

The golden brown loaves of Miracle Bread sure look good, straight out of the oven! I sure could slice a piece right now, and gobble it up (with some butter, of course).

Time for a warm slice, with some butter! Isn’t it nice looking? Yay- we have Miracle Bread success!

Don’t be afraid to try this “no kneading necessary” miracle bread. If you can stir ingredients, and roll out dough, you CAN make this! Most of the prep time involved is really just the sitting around, waiting for the dough to rise.

Simply go ahead and get lots of other things accomplished while waiting… and STILL end up with two delicious loaves of home baked bread (and an incredible smelling home)! You’ll be the hero of the day when your family sits down and enjoys your freshly baked miracle bread! Enjoy!

Servings: 20 slices (2 loaves)

Calories Per Serving: 156 kcal

Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Ingredients

1/2 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
2 Tablespoons sugar (or honey)
2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons table salt
6-7 cups all purpose flour (will use 6 cups plus more, if necessary)
Non-stick spray (or a bit of oil)
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
Sesame seeds , if desired, for garnish

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup warm water with the yeast and sugar (or honey). Stir until the yeast has fully dissolved. Let sit for a 3-4 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups warm water, 2 Tablespoons melted butter, and the salt. When fully mixed, add the yeast/water mixture from the small bowl. Stir to combine well.
Add 6 cups of all purpose flour to dough mixture. Stir well by hand until fully combined (or use a dough hook and stand mixer). If the dough is way too sticky, add a bit more flour a little at a time, until mixture is not sticky.
Form the dough into a ball. Spray a large bowl with non stick spray, or lightly oil the bowl. Add the dough ball to the bowl; turn dough over, to coat sides with spray (or oil).
Cover bowl with a tea towel, and let rise for 30-60 minutes in a warm place, free from drafts. The dough should double in size. Once doubled in size, divide the dough in half.
Roll each half section of dough out (like making a pie!) on a very lightly floured work surface. Shape the dough into a 9-10 inch long rectanglular shape. Using your (clean) hands, roll up the dough, starting with the long edge of the dough and roll tightly up into a loaf shape. Tuck the edges in slightly and carefully place the "loaf" onto a greased or sprayed baking sheet (large enough for two loaves!). Repeat process with other half of dough and place a couple inches apart from other loaf on prepared baking sheet.
Using a very sharp knife, make diagonal slits (about an inch deep) across the tops of each loaf. Cover the loaves with a tea towel and let the dough rise again, for one hour, or until dough loaves have doubled in size. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees during the last 15 minutes of rising time.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and 2 Tablespoons milk. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush this mixture over the top of each loaf. Sprinkle each loaf with sesame seeds (or can substitute poppy seeds, if desired).
Bake bread at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove loaves to wire racks. Let bread cool slightly before slicing, for best results. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

**TIP: Once you remove the muffins from oven, If the muffin is spilling over the top of the pan, simply take a butter knife and gently but quickly push the muffin back into the pan on all of it's sides. This tends to round the muffin off and make for a prettier presentation. The recipe's author suggested this and I did it... it works!

Do you like the flavor of cinnamon? Do you like to eat scones? Want to make fantastic tasting Cinnamon Chip Scones for breakfast or to snack on any other time??? Well, look no further, because this is the most delicious scone recipe you will ever want!

I’m so happy to share this recipe for amazing tasting cinnamon chip scones. They are soooo yummy! I recently bought a bag of cinnamon chips at the grocery store. Sometimes the chips are seasonal (not in stores), but they can be ordered online. I’d never bought this kind of baking chip before, but remembered seeing a scone recipe that used cinnamon chips, featured on Taste of Home, thought they sounded delicious, so decided to give it a try.

My husband said after tasting one that before he tried one he wasn’t sure he was going to like them, but after tasting one (or two ☺) decided they are awesome! I sure hope you will give these cinnamon chip scones a try. WAY LESS EXPENSIVE than paying for the same quantity at your local coffeehouse. They are absolutely EASY AND DELICIOUS!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Cinnamon Chip Scones

First, add COLD butter to the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I cut it into small pieces to allow it to mix in faster.

Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until mixture has been reduced to coarse crumbs.

Add the buttermilk and blend until the scone dough is moistened.

Add The Cinnamon Chips

Now you’re ready to add the cinnamon chips. Gently fold in until well distributed throughout the scone dough. TIP: Sometimes cinnamon chips are only available during the holidays, so grab them while you can, and stock up!

This is what the dough for the cinnamon chip scones will look like, once mixed together.

Shape the Dough

Sprinkle the dough lightly with flour. Knead the dough gently 10-12 times on a lightly floured surface, until the dough is no longer sticky.

Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a 7 inch circle. Brush the top of the scones with melted butter and then sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar.

Bake The Cinnamon Chip Scones

Place wedges onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake them in the oven for about 13-15 minutes, or until they have become lightly browned. I love making scones and could tell just from the amazing aroma coming out of my oven as they were baking that I would LOVE these, too. I was right, because they are so yummy.

Remove scones to wire rack to cool. Prepare the sweet glaze and then lightly “paint” it onto the top of each scone with a pastry brush. Let the glaze harden, then serve.

Serve… And ENJOY These Tasty Cinnamon Chip Scones!

Cinnamon chip scones go perfectly with a morning cup of coffee! They are soft on the inside, and they are FILLED with delicious cinnamon flavor! I really believe you will absolutely LOVE these cinnamon chip scones.

The recipe makes 16 medium sized scones, so I put half of them in my freezer for another time. Wrap them well, then store them in an airtight container until you’re craving them again! How perfect is that???

Chocolate butterhorns are made from scratch yeast rolls, with a delicious chocolate filling. Recipe yields 32, using a bread machine or made by hand.
Well, after almost a week of insane “busy-ness”, I am back to taking time out of my day to add a new recipe to this blog. Today’s recipe is for Chocolate Butterhorns. I found this recipe online a couple of years ago from Jessica Fisher (at Life As Mom.com). After looking at the recipe, I thought these rolls sounded pretty good, so I gave them a try. Delicious!

The butterhorns are filled with chocolate chips (so how bad can that be?), are easy to make, and freeze well. This chocolate butterhorns recipe makes 32 rolls, so freezing some for another time is a perfect option for busy families!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Making Chocolate Butterhorns

The recipe (as written) utilizes a bread machine. The dough is mixed and rises in the bread machine. The dough is then removed, rolled out, cut into portions, then chocolate pieces are added. Chocolate butterhorns are then rolled, rise again, and then are baked. That’s the instructions in a nutshell.

Do I Have To Have A Bread Machine To Make Chocolate Butterhorns?

The answer is NO. If you don’t have a bread machine, there are a couple other options, shown below.

Option #1: You can mix the dough in a stand mixer, with a dough hook.
Option # 2: You can also mix the dough by using your muscles and mixing the dough by hand.

Once Dough Is Mixed By Hand

If making the dough by hand (or stand mixer), once your dough has been mixed, place it in a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover the dough, and place in a warm spot. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size.

Once the dough has doubled in size, simply follow the remaining instructions in the recipe card for rolling them up, filling, baking, etc.

The dough is rolled into a circle, then cut into individual rolls. Once cut, the dough is topped with semi-sweet chocolate, rolled into crescent shapes, and baked.

To Serve

Once done, the warm butterhorns are lightly dusted with sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder before serving.

Here is a picture of the rolls, fresh from the oven. They sure look good enough to eat!!!!

I hope you will give these soft, chocolate butterhorns a try…we really enjoyed them! I think they would also taste fantastic with seedless raspberry jam added to the chocolate chip filling! Wouldn’t THAT be decadent to sink your teeth into??? YUM.

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place the dough ingredients in a bread machine cannister. Set controls for dough cycle and start machine. Once dough cycle has completed, remove dough from pan. Place on lightly floured work surface and divide into 4 equal parts.
Roll each section of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 8 pie shaped wedges. Place a small amount of chocolate chips over the surface of each individual wedge. Roll up each of the wedges, beginning at the wide part of the triangle and rolling up, ending at the point. Roll up each of the wedges, beginning at the wide part of the triangle and rolling up, ending at the point.
Place rolls on greased baking sheet or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Bake rolls in a preheated 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes (until golden brown). Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
TO PREPARE AHEAD FOR FREEZING: Once you roll up the rolls, place them (point side down) on a baking sheet. Place in freezer. Once frozen, remove rolls and store them in freezer bags in freezer until you want to prepare them. To prepare the frozen rolls: Remove from bag, place on greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Let thaw and rise for approximately 5 hours (until rolls are doubled in size). Bake in 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
TO GARNISH: Once rolls are baked, lightly sift cocoa powder and powdered sugar over the top of each butterhorn. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

No Bread Machine Available? Here are two options to prepare the dough: Lightly spray a large mixing bowl with spray. Option #1: Mix the dough in a stand mixer, with a dough hook. Option # 2: Mix the dough by hand (really takes muscles!). Once dough is mixed, transfer to the greased mixing bowl. Cover the bowl, place in a warm spot, and let dough rise until doubled in size. One doubled in size, continue with Step #2 in recipe.
