These didn’t make it to the freezer. It’s now my go-to recipe for Cinnamon Rolls. I’ve been searching for a recipe for homemade buns that didn’t take hours of kneading and rising for almost three years. The testing half-batch was done from start to finish in twenty minutes. Since I keep everything but Cresent Rolls on hand this was dirt cheap to make (less than $3 for 32).
The only thing I’ll change is how I handle the filling. Making it as instructed resulted in a gooey delicious mess oozing out the sides as I rolled them up. Next time I’ll make a spreadable paste with softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I’ll spread it on and cut the strips flat so I can roll them tight.
Delish!
I made these for my daycare kids and they ate them right up. Now I am trying a pizza version with a little pizza sauce and cheese. They will love them!
