I’m always watching my weight, even if it’s just watching those tastes, drips & drizzles going into my mouth. If I’m going to “spend” calories on a sweet treat, it needs to be worth every calorie! I love a good cinnamon roll, but it seems they’re few & far between. Dieting has made me a food critic! I won’t name names, but I find that a lot of cinnamon rolls are dry & boring. I’ve been on a quest to bake the perfect cinnamon rolls for a while & I’m happy to announce that I’ve nailed it! Wahoo! I still like cinnamon rolls made from frozen bread dough, but they’re not quite as soft & fluffy & you don’t save that much time using the frozen bread dough. More than once I’ve forgotten to start it the night before & had to come up with an alternate plan in the morning. That’s how these babies were born! Adapted from All Recipes, I have found my perfect cinnamon rolls & dare I say, the best cinnamon roll recipe.
These buns roll up beautifully {& easily}. I’m all about fuss-free.
There are a couple of “secrets” to these delectable rolls – the most important is covering them in cream before baking them. You won’t regret it, I promise! While you can bake them in a traditional baking dish, I love them in the cast iron skillet. It cooks them evenly & feels like they’re fresh from my Grandma’s farm.
I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving & are as excited as I am for the holidays! We’re kicking off the season with a train ride – I can’t wait!
