It's been awhile, but this one was a challenge, ... well the butter, bacon, and bourbon part was anyway. They didn't think it was possible to combine all three into something good, but here you go ...
4 B'S CINNAMON ROLLS (BUTTER, BACON, BANANAS & BOURBON)
Makes 16 cinnamon rolls with topping, cut everything in half for 8 or refrigerate the topping for later. It's great on toast.
PASTRY INGREDIENTS
- 2 Packages of Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Dough or make your own if you're brave (I suck at anything that requires dough to rise)
