  1. This was a lovely dough but as mentioned by some other reviewers, I had to add two more cups of flour. I think that much extra flour calls for the addition of a bit more sugar as well as a bit more salt. I ended up with 21 nice sized rolls and my husband and mother both loved them.
     
  2. This is a great recipe! I halved the recipe and still got a dozen large cinnamon rolls. It nearly filled a 9x13 pan. I love that this recipe doesn't require waiting around for long periods of time for dough to double and double again. The hot water trick did the job for me and my rolls were ready in under 2 hours start to finish and ready for breakfast when everyone woke up.
     
  3. I love this recipe! Wasn't quite sure about that 1 cup of butter (yes, I used butter lol), but boy does it add a little something to the texture. Like the other reviewer, I had to add an extra 2 cups of flour, as it was way too sticky to handle. Came together nicely though after the rising time. I managed to squeeze 21 rolls out of this recipe. Very much a keeper. Made for PAC Fall '08.
     
  4. Made for Pac Spring 08 This was a very tasty recipe. I did have problems with the dough being very sticky I added quite a bit of extra flour. I know the recipe says approx but I think it was more like 5 and a half to 6 cups that I ended up adding. It was great though once rolled out and put together quite nicely. Thanks so much for the recipe!
