Questions & Replies

  1. How are you getting 27 rolls when you say to divide dough in two and cut 9 one inch slices? That only makes 18.

  1. Thanks for the recipe, came out delicious. Replaced half the water with milk and left out the powdery stuff. Just could not get the amount of rolls to come out. Oh well, must be the Amish or "fuzzy" math. ;)
     
  2. I tried about a dozen recipes to find a really good cinnamon roll. Then I found this one and the search stopped. These are, by far, the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. I have made them for my office and now am requested to make them. I work in law enforcement and they know the good - and the bad. I make these for Christmas morning. Highly recommended- needless to say.
     
  3. Andypandy, these rolls came out delicious and so soft. I think the mashed potatoes did the trick. They are soft even the next day. Great recipe. The only thing I added to this recipe was 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Keeper file. Thank you.
     
  4. I made these today but only 1/2 recipe. I matched sugar / karo and also water/milk. I also made instant mashed potatoes and I used .60grams of active dry yeast as well. After 2 risings, dough almost tripled both times and have put 2nd rise in refrigerator so I can roll out and have rise final time when I am going to conclude the recipe, including baking. This dough is going to be the lightest ever.
