The Best Cinnamon Rolls

Earlier this week, I made a batch of the Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls. I'd say these are every bit as good as her commentary claims them to be. But, these are the only from-scratch cinnamon rolls I've ever made, so I really don't have anything to compare them to. Everybody seems to have their own favorite recipe. I chose these because they don't require any kneading. (I always mess things up on the kneading part.) Warning: They are extremely messy to put together and a pain to clean up afterwards. But worth it. My husband asked me to make some for him to take to work and I obliged.

I tried to make them bigger this time (only used 4 pans instead of 7), but in doing so, butter overflowed into the oven and made the whole house smoky. Then I had to open the front and back doors and turn on the ceiling fan to get some airflow and it was freezing! Anyways, I just wanted to explain the pan-within-a-pan thing going on in the upper left corner of the picture.

I decided the ones in glass pans turned out better. More gooey, and less crusty, especially on the bottom of the rolls. I had my husband take the ones in the glass pans to share at work.

I've never attempted homemade cinnamon rolls, but these look yummy. I can't believe you were willing to SHARE the fruits of your labor with your husband's co-workers! I suppose the alternative would have been to eat them ALL yourself, so sharing is a better option. Oh, and the less selfish thing to do, too...
