Swedish Tea Rings
"A fancy version of Cinnamon Rolls -- and easy, too!
This pastry looks like you spent hours slaving over the dough. In reality, it takes 2
hours from start to finish because it is basically my cinnamon roll recipe (well, maybe it
takes a bit more than 2 hours when you add the frosting glaze). I made this for the
breakfast after the Sunday school Christmas program, and there wasn¹t much left to
take home! These are our Families ultimate favorites at the Holidays"
