May 26—It Just Might Be Better Than Grandma’s!

Cinnamon Rolls

So, we had a bit of time free today so Miles and I decided to bake.  We opted for cinnamon rolls because there really is nothing better than hot, gooey, gluteny cinnamon rolls.

A few years ago I discover this fabulous recipe from my friend Amber.  It is fast and oh so good—it might even be better than Grandma’s.  Grandma was famous for her yummy cinnamon rolls, especially at breakfast with a dab of butter melted on the top.  I could never get her recipe to turn out the way she did so when I found this recipe I did a little happy dance—Grandma’s cinnamon rolls but not Grandma’s recipe.

Miles helped sprinkle cinnamon and spread butter.  He was most excited to be my taste tester since gluten intolerant me would be avoiding the end product.

The end product was perfect (thanks Amber) and Miles signed off on them being the best cinnamon rolls ever.  After sampling some for an after school snack Ian declared that he wanted a cinnamon roll birthday cake because they were so much better than cake.  There must be some Lee genetic predisposition to love, love, love cinnamon rolls.  When I have grandkids and they come to visit this is what they will get for breakfast complete with a dab of butter on the top.
