Reviews
I have been making these for years just as the recipe says. They freeze nicely and are always enjoyed by guests. Yes I have many recipes for cinnamon rolls but these are the best tasting and softest ones. Will have to try the nutmeg mentioned in other reviews but I always add raisins and pecans with no problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and Share LOTS!!
These cinnamon rolls turned out really good! The dough is very easy to work with. I added the nutmeg as was suggested by another review and the taste was spot on! Will definitely be making again.
I just made the cinnamon rolls, they are great. For Gleaner I know this is a little late but if you add a 1/2 teaspoon of Nutmeg to the batter it really perks of the flavor. My mother used to use potatoes and potato water in her bread, I was young and didn't pay much attention, I wish I had. This recipe is close to what she used to make. Thanks.
The recipe is correct as stated. I found the finished product to be lacking in taste. ( sweetness maybe) I did not flavor the potatoes when I mashed them.(perhaps that would have helped). The texture and moistness was perfect. Maybe a few less minutes to bake.(33 min. quite brown on bottom). I would make these again , if I could improve the flavor of the bread.
The recipe is absolutely correct. It starts with a sponge. This dough is delightful to work with, and the results are wonderful!!!
Yep - the flour should have also been added to the mixture for the rising stage. I'm sure it's just a typo and it slipped by Taste of Home to proof the text. Good recipe though, it was worth the time and was delicious!
These are wonderful, however, the instructions are wrong. Did you mean to put some flour in the first step??? Because potatoes, sugar, water and yeast doesn't form a batter. Anyway, I ended up combining step one with step three. Also what I ended up with was not an 9 inch square pan but an 9X13 square pan with an additional 8" round cake pan as well!!! This recipe is to die for...very light and very tasty. I added some raisens to the filling and some nuts...so good :) This recipe makes a lot, so if you have overnight guests this is a wonderful time to try this.
