Butter and brown sugar
The topping of these cinnamon rolls is a melted butter (or margarine) and brown sugar. The butter and brown sugar melt in the microwave together then poured on the unbaked cinnamon rolls. While in the oven, the flavors blend together and bake in well.
The mixture only takes about 25 seconds to melt in the microwave and then you can stir the rest. It is not necessary that is it 100% melted, just mostly so it pours evenly over the top of the rolls.
Baking the rolls
The caramel rolls will be baked at 375 degree oven for about 15-17 minutes until done. It is very important the pan gets greased before placing the rolls on the pan.
Tip
Removing the rolls needs to happen very quickly after removing them from the oven while the rolls are still warm. Take the plate you want to turn the rolls onto, and place it on top of the pan with the cinnamon rolls. Then using hot pads, carefully turn the rolls onto the new pan. The caramel topping with the rolls. will turn out on the new pan.
