These are the BEST cinnamon rolls I have ever had!! Even better if you add whipped cream and confectioners sugar!
I made these for a Christmas party, and they were a hit - although I did use the Bob Evans No-Bake Baking Mix which is not as attractive on the lips (although that is not the point). I also used gluten free all purpose flour to make a lighter texture, and it worked fine. However, I have not had any success with the cinnamon rolls, where I place the rolls on a cutting board and use a spoon to press the cinnamon in the center, before transferring to a wire cookie sheet. No dice! Sorry! I thought you should at least try. But I guess not every recipe is created equal.
