“I made these today (I doubled the recipe) and my husband took them to work. They were hands-down THE BEST TASTING cinnamon rolls I’ve ever made..and I’ve made a lot! The dough took time last night, and because it was a double batch, my mixer was working for” — a cook, 5.0★
“These rolls are not for the faint of heart. It consists of a dangerous heart stopping amount of butter, a show stopping number of eggs, all to create a light fluffiness dough. The dough will be more yellow in color than most recipes due to the number of eggs. ” — a cook, 5.0★
