  1. I am grateful for finding this recipe,even more grateful to you Bergy for posting it!!!These were the quickest cinnamon rolls I have ever made.They tasted scrumptious and I will for sure make these again.I added more cinnamon cause we like um cinnamonny(is that a word?),left out the nuts and these were winners!!!!Great!Thanks again,Bergy.
     
  2. Out of this world, Bergy!! This was so easy! I used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup whole-wheat flour, in a lame attempt to make it "healthy" :-) I omitted the melted margarine, because the dough seemed to have enough "grease" on the surface for the filling to stick. I didn't change anything else, besides having to bake for 30 minutes in my really slowwww oven. This will make for fantastic breakfasts the next few days! Thanks!
     
  3. YUMMY! I made these for breakfast on Sunday morning and we really enjoyed them. I added some brown sugar (maybe a 1/4 cup) and some cinnamon (maybe 2 -3 tsp) to the batter and I enjoyed the extra sweetness. I think next time I make them (which will be next weekend I am sure) I will pop the dough in the fridge for a little while to help firm it up. When I rolled up the dough after adding the filling, it was a bit tough to keep it in a tight roll. Maybe I am just no good at rolling though! :) Overall, A GREAT RECIPE which was thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks so much for a great new Sunday treat.
     
  4. This was so tasty and excellent! They look amazing, look like they've come straight from the bakery:) I used 1 1/2 tsps. of cinnamon. The whole house smells cinnamony after these have been baked. Lovely! I omitted the raisins since nobody is a raisin fan at my place. Making the dough took quite sometime for me(I guess almost 45 minutes to knead it), it was a great exercise!!:) We enjoyed it with hot tea. Thank-you!
     
  5. This really was an easy recipe. The buns came out wonderful. I added a confectioners sugar and water mix to making a topping for the buns.

  1. Quick, easy and tasty! what more could you ask for? I didn't have and plain yogurt but I had vanilla Greek yogurt so I used that. I also used butter in place of the margarine as we only had butter. Other than that I followed the recipe as written.They turned out great and I know I will use this this recipe again. We had some leftover homemade vanilla frosting in the freezer so I spread a little over top of them and my family gobbled them up. Thanks Bergy!
     
  2. Very good! I was interested in trying these since it uses the fat free yogurt and oil instead of shortening. I was pleasantly surprised at how tender, light and flavorful they were! I omitted the raisins since I didn't have any. I also added a simple glaze of powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon to the top. I also didn't melt my butter. I used soft butter and spread it on the dough with a knife. I've found this helps the filling stick better and keeps the butter from running off the sides of the dough. This recipe comes together quickly, which makes it the perfect choice when you need a delicious baked good and you are short on time. Thanks for sharing, Bergy!
     
  3. Thank you Bergy! I was looking for a yummy cinnamon bun but was reluctant to do all the prep and came across these and had to try them. They are delicious, soft and fluffy and incredibly tasty, the way a cinnamon bun should be. I did alter the recipe a little after having read the other reviews: for the batter I substituted Splenda for the sugar, used apple sauce instead of oil and low fat sour cream instead of yogurt (didn't have any yogurt in the house). DH loved them and my 2 year old DD gobbled her bun in a flash! I will make these again--very soon!
     
  4. These were pretty tasty...more biscuit like than your traditional cinnamon bun, but great to make on short notice. I used buttermilk in place of the yogurt simply because that is what I had on hane. I also needed to bake mine for longer than 17 minutes...probably closer to 25 minutes. At 17 minutes they were still quite raw in the middle, however I did have them crammed quite close together in a dish that hsould probably have been larger. I excluded the walnuts because my kids don't care for them, and I sprinkled the raisins on the dough before rolling it up rather than mixing it in the dough because one of my kids doesn't care for them and this way she could pick them out easier. Good recipe overall...will be making it again.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging. Here are a few of my photos <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowNetworking="all" allowFullscreen="true" src="http://w615.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w615.photobucket.com/albums/tt233/Bergylicious/ABM slideshow/d95d7a18.pbw" height="360" width="480">
