A friend called one morning to see if I wanted company for coffee. I was going to make biscuits for breakfast but wanted something fancier to share. So I quickly turned those biscuits into hot cinnamon rolls. Was my friend impressed when she arrived to the sweet aroma!

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

These delicious frosted rolls make for a sweet breakfast or brunch treat. Try these delicious cinnamon roll…

I use this recipe often for company and just to bake with my Granddaughter. We mix the icing while the rolls bake, her attention last just long enough finish this recipe. We love it, minimal mess and great taste in a short amount of time. Bravo!

We liked these a lot. A bit thick, though, and you can halve the icing and still have plenty (at least for us!).
