CHOCOLATE CHIP-HONEY CINNAMON SCROLLS

These gooey yummy cinnamon buns or scrolls as they're widely called are just my favorite snack and breakfast...they make me the ultimate domestic goddess to my hubby, C.  He devours them faster than I can make them, really. I used to bake them as our cafe's special-homemade-dessert-of-the-day. They sell for way too much in the shops but few know how easy they are to make in your own kitchen especially if you invest in a bread machine!  Try this recipe--it never fails me, and you'll never have to pay for them again!

Kat's Chocolate Chip-Honey Cinnamon Scrolls

DOUGH for 1, 1 1/2, or 2 Ib
2 1/2 all-purpose flour
3/4 C milk
1 tsp yeast
2 T sugar
1 egg + water to fill 1/4 C
3 T butter

1/4 C chopped raisins

VANILLA/ORANGE FROSTING
1/2 C confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 tsp milk or: *Cointreau/ or Grand Marnier/ (any type of orange liquer)


1. Load bread pan with wet ingredients first, then the dry, and select dough cycle. When done, remove to greased bowl, cover and let rest for 30 min in fridge or overnight  if not using immediately. Otherwise, leave in machine for another 1 hour.


2. Roll out dough to 10x16 " rectangle. Spread melted butter, sprinkle with brown sugar,cinnamon, raisins and *choc chips. *Drizzle honey all over the top. Roll up like a jelly-roll to a 16" log. Seal with some beaten egg. Slice into 12 equal portions.


3. Place slices in 9x13" pan, ensure they are not touching. Spritz with some water, let rise in warm place for 30 min (nearly doubled). Brush with remaining beaten egg.


4. Bake in 180 degrees for 15-20 min, until lightly browned. Mix the icing ingredients together till dissolved. Drizzle or spread on scrolls.

I like to give credit to the original recipe writers, though I've created my own scrolls with the basic recipe I've used--you'll notice the *asterisk points are where I've customised these scrolls to make it my own.
