Christy,

I have made these twice now and neither time have the risen! I’ve put them in the laundry room as suggested and in my kids room where it’s the warmest in the house. Suggestions?

These came out just wonderful – the only change I made was to add the juice of half a lemon to the icing, which thinned it down a little, but cut the overwhelming (to me) sweetness of the powdered sugar, and eliminated the cinnamon which wasn’t listed in the ingredients on the actual recipe.
I make the same icing for my pineapple cake (no cinnamon there!), but it has even more powdered sugar for its thicker consistency, so I always add lemon juice to it. This worked out well for me!

Hey Sugar!

You said “*Note: I’m using super cheap cinnamon. I paid all of .50 cents for it. You can pay a small fortune for a jar of cinnamon these days but I guess my tastes have never been refined enough to tell the difference.~grins~”

Shame Shame Shame on you honey. You’ve never tried Watkins Cinnamon then, because it is the only PURE Cinnamon that the FDA allows to say it’s pure. And you can TASTE the difference darlin’. Get yourself some of that Watkins Cinnamon, stick your finger into your cheap stuff and taste it, clean your palate and then taste the Watkins Cinnamon. I’m telling you Sugar, you’l TASTE the difference and I’m not liein’

Love Love Ya,

Rita K

Hi Christy! I’ve always made my cinnamon rolls from scratch. Xmas morning I am tired! I’ve been up wrapping all night, kids are excited to open gifts so they wake me at the crack of dawn, and making cinnamon rolls is about the last thing I want to be doing.

This year I want to try the easy method. What is your favorite way to do them Christmas Eve before bed? Do I let them rise before putting in the frig, or do I just make and pop in the frig? Just need to get the rise timing down on them. You don’t know my gang when they are waiting for Xmas morning buns! It makes a cross country car trip of “are we there yet?” sound good.

Oh my hearts just sank with you when I read this. I’ve done the same thing and I was so disappointed in myself I actually cried because I had been so proud thinking of sending them to people.
It sounds like your dough was allowed to rise too much, more than double in size, then overnight it quit rising and started dying off once it reached the limit of how large it could become. I’m hoping, praying, and crossing my pinky toes that it rises some again for you.
The good news is that your rolls are still bakeable/edible, it’s just that they will be harder -but I’m a trooper, I ate them anyway.
I wish I could get in my cat (or caR even, since my cat is quite lazy)and come right over there to make cinnamon rolls, drink coffee, and giggle the morning away with you. I’d make you giggle, I promise!
