This recipe is from the Dash newspaper insert. Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 8, this year. I can't be there, but I can still party like I am!
King Cakes are a traditional Mardi Gras treat in which a plastic trinket is slid inside after baking. Tradition says that whoever finds it has to make next year’s cake.
Ingredients:
¾ cup raisins
¾ cup apple cider, hot
2 (17.5 oz) cans jumbo cinnamon rolls with icing
¾ cup chopped pecans
Yellow, green, and purple sugar crystals
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, pour hot cider over raisins to plump. Let sit 5 minutes. Drain.
2. Unfurl cinnamon rolls. Place two strips next to each other, pinching seams to create one wide strip. Sprinkle bottom half with raisins and pecans. Fold over; press to seal. Twist dough into a circle. Seal ends. Repeat with remaining rolls.
3. Bake cakes a few inches apart on a tray, 17–20 minutes. Ice them while they’re warm; sprinkle with sugar crystals.
Makes 5 mini cakes.
