Last Sunday night, the hot water heater gave up the ghost. It was old and cranky. Having no hot water made me cold and cranky. The natural thing to do seemed to be to make cinnamon rolls. Warm, delicious cinnamon rolls.
I used Paula’s recipe because when it comes to comfort food, her recipes have never ever let me down.
I didn’t get many in progress shots for this recipe because it’s a very hands on kind of thing to make. I love the feeling of making dough from scratch. And there’s almost a little magic in the rolling out and spreading of butter and cinnamon and sugar goodness and then rolling the whole thing up.
Sorry for the darkness of these photos. We’ve had mostly cloudy days forever.
I should probably warn you that these smell amazing and you’ll be tempted to eat half a dozen by yourself! They work very well to be made the night before and then just pop them in the oven in the morning.
They also keep pretty well. (I’ve been eating them for breakfast all week!)
*By the way, we have hot water again. Thank goodness!!
