Sweet Memories Cinnamon Rolls

"These are the cinnamon rolls my elementary school served every Friday with bean chowder for lunch. I added to the name because they do bring back such sweet memories! *note* I'm not sure if the sizes on the yeast and powdered sugar are exactly right, zaar would not let me put them as just package or box."

  1. 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!

<p>What can I say, I love food! Sometimes a lil' too much, but who doesn't? Most of my favorite recipes have been handed down from my Grandma, and of course she's the best cook I know. <br /> <br />I love good ole' country cooking! But occasionally I have to get my gourmet on. LOL!</p>
