Cinnamon Rolls
Late last week I had a craving for cinnamon rolls. This craving had gone on for several weeks, but every time I was out Christmas shopping at the mall, I made the decision not to cave and buy one, even though they smelled so good…
Luckily when the craving just had to be satisfied, I did a quick web search and found this “Easy No-Rise Cinnamon Rolls” recipe from The Happy Housewife. It was a great instant gratification recipe since I didn’t have to wait for the dough to rise, and it called for no oil, shortening, or refined sugar, like many other recipes I found.
I needed the whole cup of milk, and I found it only made 8 rolls, which surprised me. I used a 9″ round cake pan and it didn’t fill the whole pan, but I was able to line the pan with them and when they baked they spread out and touched each other. Before I put the rolls in the pan, I greased it with a little bit of butter and sprinkled some brown sugar and cinnamon in.
I only needed to bake them for 16 minutes, and they were yummy drizzled with some leftover royal icing I had from making Christmas Cut-Out Cookies!
