  • 5

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We found that a 9-inch metal round or square pan works best with this recipe so dough has enough room to expand while baking.
  • tip 2
    Cut a piece of parchment paper to line bottom of pan for easy cleanup.
  • tip 3
    Stir the melted butter-brown sugar mixture each time before dropping tablespoonfuls over tops of rolls to keep the mixture evenly mixed.
  • tip 4
    For extra decadence, serve any remaining cream mixture from the pan alongside the rolls.
