Cinnamon Rolls

I used this link for my cinnamon rolls this past weekend and wanted to comment on what I experienced. 

http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/cinnamonrolls

Everything turned out very well except the filling was so much like a liquid that it wouldn't stay put while rolling up, so most of that ended up on the counter top.  I think my problem was that the butter was too soft and warm after mixing in the sugar and the cinnamon.  Next time I will try to keep it firmer.

The other thing that I noticed is that the topping is not what I was expecting.  I didn't like the acidity of the lemon juice and would have much prefered cream cheese topping. 

I was thinking that since the rolls themselves worked so well I could just eat them with some butter and it was wonderful.  I've kept them in the fridge and they warm up quickly in the microwave.  Never have I made something so soft and delicious.  I was very impressed with the 'bread' part of this recipe and will continue to use it.

All my picture files are the wrong size so they won't upload but hopefully I'll be able to learn about how to fix that soon!  I have a great picture of the cinnamon rolls I want to post.

cinnamon rolls...

I used the recipe from Cooks.com, and I now use that frosting on my amish sourdough carrot cake as well... it was that good! My students LOVE it; I can see I won't have any problems with using up THAT starter!  Between the carrot cake and cinnamon buns, I will alternate one each week to bring to work for a while. :-D

Oh, a further ado..... for our own delight, I will add pecans sometimes and raisins and walnuts other times. I won't bring that way to work b/c there are a lot of kids that now have allergies to nuts of all things!

Enjoy the week-end and the buns!
