These are the easiest and most delicious cinnamon rolls ever. For a change, you can add some raisins that have been soaked in rum to the filling. Then add some rum to the frosting. You might need to add a little more powdered sugar. I have made these for years, and no one tires of them. -
These were very easy to make and the flavor was fair but they turned out rather dry to me. They really need more cinnamon filling too.
