My brother is town for a training and normally I make smoothies for breakfast, so he can just grab it and go. But on the weekend, I wanted to do something a little more special, but not too time consuming since we had a full day ahead of us. These easy, but super delicious, cinnamon rolls fit the bill perfectly.
And yes, for all you inquiring minds—I am not longer baked, broiled or burnt. Whew! Lesson learned. I will not go to the beach without sunscreen ever again. Or at least not this summer. Next summer—who knows!
Now, back to these cinnamon rolls. I realize this makes my third cinnamon roll recipe, but I’m not embarrassed. Each roll has their own merits. One is a yeast roll, one is not and this one is semi-homemade. Depending on your time and culinary skills, I have generously provided you with options.
Oh, who am I kidding? I like cinnamon rolls. 🙂
My brother and I dug into these and demolished them fairly quickly. They gave us enough energy to stroll around Chinatown before we gorged ourselves some more. It was a good day, minus the sunburn! And the minor car issue we had, but that’s a story for another day.
