Not so pretty cinnamon rolls

Since my family loves sweets I am always looking for new things to bake. Well I was on one of my favorite websites Bakeralla and saw these rolls, she got the recipe from Pioneer Women (you ain't bloggin' if you haven't heard of Pioneer Women) anyhoo.....this was a lot of work and a lot of time. I made 6 small pans and 12 cinnamuffins that we ate tonight. Gene, my 16yr. old LOVES cinnamon rolls for breakfast BUT he will only eat Laura Lynn (Ingles brand) I don't know...it must be his daddy's side of the family!  These took forever to make and I realized half way through that I had thrown away my baking powder because it had expired. So mom in love, being the love she is, had to take a trip around the world to get me 'sum. Yeah Nana saved the day and even she said they were delish. The hubby gave them two thumbs up and Gene demolished what was left (moved over Laura Lynn). I had a bite of one and they were to die for. The dough was extremely soft so they weren't too purdy to look at but once it was drowned in frosting they all looked mouth watering. There is nothing better than a melt in your mouth, full of butter, smothered in sugar and cinnamon, cinnamon roll. All that is missing is a cup of hazelnut coffee.

I will post pictures later of the final product.
