More cinnamon rolls



I always mean to post a proper, sweet recipe on Fridays but somehow I never seem to have the energy. Instead, let me provide some inspiration. This is the same cinnamon buns as I've posted about previously, but instead of placing them in separate little paper cups, I placed a bunch of them in a square pan and let them rise together to form one, giant bun. I sprinkled them with pearl sugar, chopped almonds and I couldn't resist adding a little bit of golden syrup, too. After baking, and cooling, I turned out the whole thing and cut it into squares.

These are much, much yummier in my opinion. I really like the soft, pillowy dough rather than the baked, crunchy edges, and since these are almost all "middle", they suit me much better. Husband prefers the "normal" kind though, so I make both.

Well, you'd get me every time simply by mentioning cinnamon rolls. I can just smell them!

this is exactly how my mother makes sweet rolls, all together in a large pan....though sometimes with pearl sugar and sometimes its a thin liquidy layer of vanilla frosting...

These look amazing! but I'm with your husband as far as texture we like firm and crunchy!

I do the same with my cinnamon roll dough. Half of them I bake into buns, the other half into a "boston". But I never cut them into squares, just serve the whole thing and then people twist their own "roll" out of the whole ting.
