I am looking for a good caramel sauce recipe to revamp my mom’s caramel cinnamon rolls. The original recipe is 1/3 c butter, 2/3 c brown sugar and 3 T heavy cream. Mix all together in a saucepan. Put on bottom of 9×13 pan and cinnamon rolls on top. Allow to rise and then bake.
Any thoughts?
I’m actually working on a sticky bun recipe for my cookbook. 🙂 You could try using this caramel sauce recipe (https://www.briana-thomas.com/christmas-cracker-toffee/) with this cinnamon roll recipe (https://www.briana-thomas.com/cinnamon-rolls/).
