Cinnamon Rolls. And Darn Good Ones Too
Last night we properly broke in the kitchen at our new apartment with some baking. Specifically cinnamon rolls. More specifically THESE cinnamon rolls.
We stumbled upon the recipie a couple weeks ago and determined that, yes…we would be making these. And making them soon. The recipie makes 7 tins, but we figured for health reasons we should cut that in half. Having 7 tins of cinnimon buns hanging around the house…no good. No good at all.
So we set out to make the rolls. Wassy did most of the work as she is the baking expert in the house. I helped a bit in the roll making phase. We ended up making quite the mess. Like…a mess of epic proportions. You have to spread melted butter on the dough and then add the sugar and cinnamon. Once you're done with that you're supposed to roll it up. But we discovered we didn't let it sit quite long enough so we had a little butter oozing problem.
Well, it was more like a river of butter. But we got it all sorted out and stuffed what remained of the oozed mixture back into to the rolls to provide necessary cinnamon flavoring.
The end result looked quite nice:
The kitchen, however…did not:
But in the end, the rolls were cooked. The icing was made, and the rolls were eaten. And dear lord, were they good. Highly recommend this recipie to anyone looking to make some homemade cinnamon rolls.
