Skillet Cinnamon Rolls image

I love using cast iron to get a nice crust on these skillet cinnamon rolls! The pan also makes an impressive serving dish on the table without it looking as if you tried too hard. -Danielle Williams, Newport, Rhode Island

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon rolls, but these were surprisingly good. The dough was light and fluffy, and the filling was just the right amount of sweetness.

I love that this recipe uses a skillet instead of a baking dish. It makes them so much easier to make and they cook more evenly.
