ALOHA ROLLUPS
Growing up, my Mom taught me how to bake various delicious pies. After baking, we’d always have some leftover pastry dough. My Mom would mix all the dough scraps, roll it out, and then spread butter over the top of the dough. We’d then generously sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the top, roll the dough, and cut the long tube into 1″ circles. We’d place the circles on a greased cookie sheet and bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 5-10 minutes until lightly brown. Once they cooled, we’d enjoy it as is and/or with a dab of butter. Simply Delicious! Here’s a great variation on that recipe made with chocolate morsels, almonds, cinnamon, and apples that you can enjoy for a breakfast pastry, snack, or dessert!
