Roll ingredients
1 (16 oz) box Pillsbury hot roll mix
1 egg
2 T. butter, melted

1 cup very hot water (120º-130º)

1/2 c. sugar

Directions:
Dough:
Combine contents of box, sugar and yeast into large bowl, Mix well
Stir in hot water, butter and egg until dough pulls away from side of bowl
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface
With greased or floured hands, shape dough into a ball
Knead for 5 minutes until smooth
Cover dough and let rest for 5-10 minutes

When dough is resting, prepare caramel topping
Combine, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup into a 10 inch iron ovenproof skillet.
(I use a black iron frying pan)
Heat on stovetop until butter melts completely. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly

Roll dough to a 12x15 inch rectangle
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture evenly over the butter

Roll up from the long side, inching seam to seal. Cut into 10 (I an usually get at least 12) equal slices. Arrange rolls cut side down on top of caramel in skillet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes

Bake in preheated 350º oven for 25 mins. Cool for a few minutes, then flip over skillet onto plate

The hot roll mix is hard to find. I've had good luck with Amazon.
