Can’t-Eat-Just-One Cinnamon Rolls
My cinnamon rolls have been known to vanish quickly. Once I dropped off a dozen rolls for my brothers, and they emptied the pan in 10 minutes. —Regina Farmwald, West Farmington, Ohio

I haven’t tried this yet but have a general question: Can I use frozen bread dough to make this or a cinnamon swirl bread. If yes, when do I roll it out flat—before or after rising the dough?
Trying this for the first time, but it isn't rising like I would want it to. Any suggestions?
Tasty but needs MORE cinnamon in the filling. I would double it. I found another similar recipe on this site that uses cream cheese in the frosting and has double the cinnamon. I will try that one and compare.
I made these for Easter, they were delicious. Instead of using plain vanilla pudding mix, I used french vanilla pudding mix. My family enjoyed these, I will definitely be making these again real soon.
I made these as directed except I used banana pudding instead of vanilla because that's what I had on hand. My family thought the mystery flavor was apple until I revealed my secret. Either way, they LOVED them! They especially loved how moist they were and that would be true no matter what pudding flavor you used.
my kids beg for these. It is worth the time that it takes. My kids have gotten involved and are now helping me with making them. Baking Memories!
I've been using this recipe for years. It is consistently good and far better than other recipes I used before it. One thing I love is that these rolls are soft coming out of the oven. I also love that it uses real butter. The frosting recipe is so easy to make! A complete winner and I've made them a half dozen times.
How may I print this recipe. Family coming for Xmas. This will be an awesome brunch addition once everyone is up. The aroma should make that happen ?
Has anyone tried to convert this recipe to use a bread machine??
This was the first time I ever tried homemade cinnamon rolls and I followed the recipe exactly. We were all very disappointed in these. Somewhat on the dry side, but they lacked the cinnamon gooeyness that you'd expect from cinnamon rolls. The icing was very sweet too. I think the cinnamon/sugar/butter filling should be increased and the frosting recipe cut in half. But I won't be making them again and will look for a better recipe.
