Cinnamon Rolls

Think of this post as a public service announcement.  I am going to just take a minute here to highly recommend, that, on your next rainy Sunday morning, you click on over to the Pioneer Woman's website and get to work on these cinnamon rolls.  You and your family will be very, very happy.  We were!
If, like me, you only have two people in your family, this recipe halves very well.  This was a relief, since I think that even though it's just the two of us...we could have easily polished off the 50 of these that the entire recipe makes!  I made half the recipe, which yielded just about 20 cinnamon rolls.  I baked them all, but froze one tray.  We had unexpected guests that afternoon, and polished off the first tray.  With mulled apple cider (boozed up with some Butterscotch Schnapps, thanks mom!) and a little early Halloween candy, it was, I have to say, my best party ever.  And completely unplanned.
I daresay, Martha would have been proud.  And maybe even the Pioneer Woman.  I am lucky enough to have her cookbook, and have definitely gotten a lot of use out of it.  But the rest of you can just follow this link.  I will say this though -- I am pretty sure I have never used so much butter and sugar at once!  Nor made such a mess of my tiny kitchen.  All totally worth it. I am now considering using that much butter and sugar in everything!  Turns out...fat and sugar taste very, very, very good indeed.

  1. Oh my gosh, I'm embarrassed to say my husband and I could probably polish off all 50! LOL! They look insanely good!! The unplanned parties are always the best. :o) Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

  2. You are a cinnamon roll baking queen! I have such a hard time not binging on cinnamon rolls when I make them...freezing one pan is such a great idea. I have made this exact recipe, and I agree, it is so very good! Thanks for sharing sweet girl, I'm glad that you guys enjoyed it so much.

  3. I had a 'pizza-off' between Pioneer Woman's pizza dough and Rebecca Rather's (the Pastry Queen) and PW won! So I'm thinking I have to repeat the experiment with the cinnie rolls. Will let you know - thanks for sharing/encouraging us to try hers.

  7. Don't think I can make these because I'll probably finish all the rolls in one sitting. They look fantastic!

  8. Yep, I've made those and they are showstoppingly good if that is even a word!

    My step-son loves all things cinnamon, and I made these for his breakfast birthday once - OMG, totally insulin worthy!
