Well....all of you are probably wondering what in the heck easy Skyrim sweet rolls are, huh? Believe me, I had no clue until I did my research. Sweet Rolls that came to life right out the of the video game, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Yes, you heard me right, a sweet roll recipe right out of a video game.
Let me tell you, these rolls are STUPENDOUS! A warm, moist roll baked in a mini bundt pan and then drizzled with white glaze. Simple to make and easy to eat! The perfect breakfast food or even after dinner snack.
I have absolutely no ties to these rolls and can't really tell you how I stumbled upon the recipe, but I am glad I did. Being a gamer is definitely not in my genes, so I had no clue they were inspired by a video game.
As aforementioned, the sweet rolls were inspired from the 2011 breakout hit video game Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls. Found in taverns, inns, and other areas throughout the game as a food source for the characters.
There are many variations to the sweet rolls found on the internet. However, the original recipe used is from the The Elder Scrolls: "The official cookbook" by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. I used a more simplified recipe version and they came out great!
