When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

MOM'S CINNAMON ROLLS

I grew up eating these. My mom is a great cook and most of the time had something tasty going on in the kitchen. DH and kids look forward to the times when I make these. I make them the night before and let them rise in the fridge overnight. The trick is getting up before everyone else to get them in the oven... This recipe can easily be halved. Still use the 1 egg if doing so.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cinnamon rolls will be.
  • Use a good quality cinnamon. Ground cinnamon is best. You can also use a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
  • Make sure the yeast is active. If the yeast is not active, the cinnamon rolls will not rise properly.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and become light and fluffy.
  • Do not over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the dough tough.
  • Roll the dough out evenly. This will help the cinnamon rolls to bake evenly.
  • Do not overfill the cinnamon rolls. Overfilling will make the cinnamon rolls difficult to roll up and may cause them to burst open during baking.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls at the correct temperature. The cinnamon rolls should be baked at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon rolls are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. They are relatively easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect cinnamon rolls that will impress your family and friends.
