Servings: 32 rolls
Prep Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 9 hrs 55 mins
Ingredients
  • 1  package 2-layer-size
    French vanilla cake mix
  • 5-1/2  to 6 cups
    all-purpose flour
  • 2  packages
    active dry yeast
  • 1  teaspoon
    salt
  • 2-1/2  cups
    warm water (120 degree F to 130 degree F)
  • 1/4  cup
    butter, softened
  • 3/4  cup
    granulated sugar
  • 1  tablespoon
    ground cinnamon
  • 1-1/3  cups
    packed brown sugar
  • 1  cup
    butter
  • 2  tablespoons
    light-colored corn syrup
  • 1-1/2  cups
    chopped walnuts
1.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, 2 cups of the flour, the yeast, and salt. Add the water and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, scraping sides of bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
2.
Stir in as much remaining flour as you can with a wooden spoon. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a smooth dough (about 3 minutes; dough will still be slightly sticky). Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
3.
Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and divide in half. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Roll each portion to form a 16x9-inch rectangle.
4.
Spread each rectangle with half of the 1/4 cup butter. Sprinkle with a mixture of granulated sugar andcinnamon. Starting from a long side, roll up dough into a spiral. Pinch to seal. Cut the dough into 1-inch slices.
5.
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, the 1 cup butter, and corn syrup. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat. Divide mixture between two 13x9x2-inch baking pans.
6.
Sprinkle walnuts evenly into the pan. Place half of the rolls, cut side down, into each baking pan. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
7.
Before baking, remove from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 25 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans on wire racks. Turn out onto foil. Serve warm or cool. Cover and store at room temperature for 8 hours or wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Makes 32 rolls.
