I did it! Oh, I am so excited. Christian said they taste just like his mom's... and I now will be able to bring them to Grandma's to eat. They freeze very well and only take seconds to warm back up in the microwave. YUMMY!
they are very good, and I want to try to make them. I need something Phillipino in my recipe line. Teach me some more.
I made them today, and I ran out of filling, so I took what was left of the dough and rolled it out for cinnamon rolls. I put butter, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins on it, rolled it up and sliced it into pieces and put it into a small baking pan that I had melted butter, brown sugar and a little cream in, and let it rise. I baked it at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. Then I turned it over while it was hot on another pan, and I have cinnamon carmel rolls. A little different taste than regular rolls, but I had been really hungry for homemade rolls, so it worked, and I don't have a huge batch.
