This is actually the first Pioneer Recipe I tried and well, I think they are the first Cinnamon Rolls Gourmet Man liked! I told you he is very picky! Four years into our marriage I find out he really did not care for my grand mother's secret Cardamom Ring Recipe (cinnamon rolls with a twist)! ARGH!!!
I must admit, I have never gotten the Cardamom Ring right. My mom always had it perfect. Mine were always dry and not as tasty. Oh, that recipe will never be found here since it is SECRET! But it is so yummy, even if Gourmet Man does not care for it and I am think I can tweak the recipe now to be better than ever using techniques from this recipe!
Here is the recipe for Cinnamon Rolls.
Now, since I have been on a diet I have not had these, but once again GM knows what he is tasting:) These are fantastic to make for holidays, because they make so many to give away to neighbors! When I made them I froze 1/2 the dough and used the 1/2 to make a full baking pan FULL and they stayed fresh for days! Since they are no-knead they are super easy. And I am all about the easy.
Oh, GM did not care for the maple frosting- he only likes maple on pancakes and french toast, but Other Twin and College Boy loved them with the maple frosting as well as GM's co-worker!
This is frosting recipe I used for GM's cinnamon rolls- which he said were 'heavenly'.
The Best Ever Frosting
1 lb of Powdered Sugar
1/2 cup of butter melted
1/2 cup sour cream
3-6 Tbs of Milk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix powdered sugar, butter and sour cream together. Add vanilla. Add milk 1 tbs at a time until a relatively thick, but spreadable consistency is achieved (depending on humidity and how warm the butter was depends on amount of milk needed). Spread on mostly cooled Cinnamon Rolls (still slightly warm, but not to warm so to completely melt the frosting). Enjoy:)
