Grandma’s Cinnamon Rolls

 

Grandma’s Cinnamon Rolls

I made these a few days ago for my wife and teenage granddaughters. They were gone in an hour. Easy to do and fun. Next time, I’ll probably add a few tablespoons of brown sugar to the filling mixture. Great recipe. Very similar to the one I had in my old Betty Crocker book that I lost years ago. One time-saver I would add is to cut the roll with large scissors instead of the rope. It's easier. Additionally, you can put the dough and rolls in the oven to rise and speed up the process.

Simply place a pot of freshly boiled water on the bottom of the oven and place the rack a few centimeters above it. Place your dough on the rack over the water, covered with greased wax paper and a towel. Do the same with your cinnamon roll molds. Be sure to remove the rolls when you remove them from the oven and remove them from the water before preheating the oven. A real time saver. This recipe is simple, quick, and easy, and tastes delicious.

I remember doing this years ago when I had my book that was lost in a move. I made the whole batch and put one part in the freezer without icing, took it out, put one part in, and warmed it up for about 10 minutes and made the icing in a bowl. It’s so easy and quick at any time. Impressively! I love your videos! I’m going to make these for Christmas with freshly ground flour! I love you both! I remember the first time I ate them! It was at your wedding reception… it was wonderful. Thank you for posting. I can’t wait to make them for my family. I added the zest and juice of a clementine to the sugar-cinnamon mixture and soaked the raisins in a mixture of Grand Marnier and Amaretto. I also put some of the drink mixture on the sliced ​​rolls before they rise. Very rich.
