Found this online, made a few tweaks, and it really is good. The original claim is that this is “an easy alternative to buying those famous cinnamon rolls in the mall. They taste exactly the same…” I can not however comment on this, as I have not had those famous Mall Rolls in a while. lol. But I do know they are very good, and everyone in the house and at work liked them!!
