I made these twice. The first ones were good but the size of a cake saucer almost and had too much filling to suit my taste. I indeed got 12 rolls and hubby ate them up. The second time I rolled them lots thinner. Divided my dough and used much less filling. I get 39 small rolls (app. 3 inches, 1/2 inch tall. Doubled the icing on this one. And loved them. So I guess it depends on the size you like. I like the smaller and next time will freeze them in individual servings for breakfast, and add icing as needed. Don't know how the freezing will work. But will post when I find out. Thanks Okie!
