Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Ever since the weather turned a couple of weeks ago, all I have wanted to do is cozy up inside and bake some warm, tasty treat. When I was home over Thanksgiving, my mom and I leaned into this feeling, deciding that we had to make cinnamon rolls for the rest of my family one chilly morning. Here’s the recipe we used; you won’t be disappointed! 

Ingredients: 

• 2% Milk
• Yeast
• Eggs
• Butter 
• Sugars
• Flour 
• Cinnamon 
• Heavy Cream

  • 1 cup warm milk 
  • 2.5 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 2 eggs

  • once the filling is spread, roll the dough up tightly and cut into 12 slices
  • Once you have your 12 pieces cut, place them in a greased 9×13 baking pan. 
  • Set the pan aside for 20 minutes so the rolls can continue to rise 
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 
  • Directly before you put the rolls into the oven, pour your warm heavy cream over the top
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes 
  • Allow rolls to cool before spreading frosting over the top of the rolls
