Reviews
This recipe also works without eggs as well, the cinnamon buns are just as good or better. You don't have to compensate with the other ingredients either.
I've made these several times and my family loves them. Although I did scale down this recipe and only make 24 at a time.
If you want something that the whole family will love---this is a must try. I have made them for family gatherings & always try to make sure I have some in the freezer for guest.
