CINNAMON-SUGAR ROLLS

Steps:

• Trim store-bought pie dough into a rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with a mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar. Roll into a log, then flatten slightly. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with more sugar and bake 15 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool, then slice into thin pieces.

BROWN SUGAR BUNS OR ROLLS

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin (I've used cooking spray and shortening with equal success).
• Cream together butter and brown sugar in small bowl and place a generous teaspoon of mixture in each muffin cup. Set the rest aside.
• In a large bown mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a fork incorporate shortening into flour until they're fully combined.
• Make a well in the center and gradually add milk, stirring with a fork until a moist dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin roll as close as possible to a 30 x 30 cm (12 X 12 inch) square. Trim to form a square.
• Spread reserved brown sugar and butter mixture over top, reaching all 4 sides. An offset spatula works really well for this!
• Roll dough towards you and reposition seam side down. Slice in half, and then into quarters. Cut each quarter into 3 pinwheels, approx 1 inch each.
• Place 1 roll in each muffin cup, with the filling up.
• Bake in a preheated 425 oven for 12 minutes. I find they come out better when I turn my convection off so you may want to try that as well, if it applies. Keep an eye on them for the last couple of minutes -- you want to remove them from the oven while the sugar is still bubbling.
• Use a spoon to remove them to a rack to cool right away, before the sugar cools. I put waxed paper under the rack to make clean up easier.
• Enjoy!

SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Cake.
• Preheat oven to 400°F Spray 15"x10"x1" jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line with waxed paper. Coat waxed paper well with a non-stick cooking spray.
• Sift dry ingredients together into a medium mixing bowl. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed until foamy. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of SugarTwin® over mixture and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• In a second large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks at medium-high speed until thick and lemon colored, 5 minutes. Lower speed; blend in milk and flavorings. Add sifted dry ingredients, mixing at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium, scraping bowl occasionally.
• Pour batter mixture over egg whites. With rubber spatula, carefully fold by hand until evenly blended. Pour into prepared pan; bake 7 minutes until done.
• Allow cake to set 1 minute; loosen around edges. Invert onto clean towel; roll with towel from narrow end, leaving open side on bottom. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Unroll; spread cake with SugarTwin® Whipped Frosting (see recipe below) to within 1/2" of edges. Roll cake from narrow end; place on serving platter. Decorate with confectioner's sugar and toasted sliced almonds, if desired.
• Chill. To serve, slice diagonally into pieces.
• For best results, eggs should be at room temperature before using.
• Whipped Frosting.
• Chill smaller mixer bowl and beaters in freezer 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine non-dairy creamer and milk. Whip at highest speed until stiff peaks form, scraping bowl occasionally. Add SugarTwin® and flavoring and blend. Refrigerate. For best results, use promptly. Makes about 1 cup.
