Description

Delicious and soft pretzels coated with a sweet cinnamon sugar topping, perfect for a snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups warm milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast (or instant)
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 4 1/2 cups Flour (more or less as needed)
  • 1/3 cup Baking soda
  • 3 cups Warm water
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. When the mixture is bubbly, mix in the brown sugar, butter, one cup flour, and salt, and mix until combined.
  2. Add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, and mix until a smooth and slightly sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise about one hour, until doubled in size.
  3. After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Divide the dough into twelve equal sized pieces, and roll each piece into a long skinny rope. Twist into a pretzel shape.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the warm water and baking soda until dissolved. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake 7 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. In a shallow dish, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush the pretzels with melted butter, then dip them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Notes

Ensure the yeast is fresh for best results.
The dough can be refrigerated overnight for convenience.
For extra flavor, consider adding nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 430 g yellow cake mix
  • 96 g instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 240 ml whole milk
  • 120 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 170 g butterscotch chips
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 28 g unsalted butter
  • 160 g toffee bits or crushed toffee candy
  • 130 g butterscotch chips, chopped
  • 50 g crushed granola or crispy cereal

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease and lightly flour a 23×33 cm baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix and instant butterscotch pudding mix. Add eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface. Bake for 2832 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butterscotch chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 56 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 3 minutes to thicken.
  5. While cake is warm, poke small holes across the surface using a fork or skewer. Pour the slightly cooled but warm glaze over the cake, spreading evenly with an offset spatula.
  6. Evenly distribute toffee bits, chopped butterscotch chips, and crushed granola or cereal over the glaze. Gently press the topping into the glaze to help it adhere.
  7. Allow the cake to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the glaze and topping.

Notes

Ensure the cake is fully cooled before applying the glaze for best results.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
