The best PW recipe to date!

Hang onto your hats, or your visors, or sunglasses, or your wig! Heck, hang onto whatever might be on your head!!! This recipe will BLOW you away, and anyone that tastes them!

I finally just bit the bullet and tried a batch of PW's Cinnamon Rolls. OH.MY.WORD!!
You won't be sorry. The work is well worth the outcome, trust me. You can trust me, I'm trustable!

It is a bit time consuming but again, you'll be famous. Ree even says so in the cookbook.
She warns you not to start making them for your friends and family unless you want to become famous for them. She says that everything you've ever accomplished before sharing the rolls will be forgotten... and in my experience, I think she's right!

I made these mad rolls on Sunday. That way I would have plenty of time and be able to share them with coworkers on Monday. I had heard that they make several pans and I knew we couldn't eat them all so sharing was the next best thing.


Here's a picture after I rolled out the first half of the dough to begin the "roll" process. Butter, cinnamon and sugar - oh my!



Here's the best looking pan I made :) Aren't they pretty? Even unbaked!




They baked and smelled HEAVEN and then I made the icing, which I didn't take a pic of the process of and poured it on there directly out of the oven and this.... this happened






Do you see that goodness? That maple glaze = HEAVEN!! Your taste buds will soar!


And I wasn't joking when I said it made several pans. Here are all mine

I brought two to work, kept two at home and sent two with James! WIN-WIN for all!

THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND ALL THAT ATE THE ROLLS GAVE THEM

5 GOLDEN WHISKS

The Good: All of it, every last thing about them is good. There's cinnamon and sugar in EVERY SINGLE BITE. The maple glaze is out of this world and I could just eat it with a spoon. RAVE! RAVE! RAVE! It's all I can do, really.

The Bad (not really): In the book she says to roll them tightly and not worry about oozing. My first set I didn't abide by the rules and well my rolls were puny when I put them in the pan, even though they baked up nicely. However, the second set I rolled nice and tight and didn't worry about ooze and they were SO PERFECT! So, if you make them, don't worry about ooze, roll those babies nice and tight.

The Ugly: YOU CAN'T STOP EATING THEM and neither can anyone you give them too. I was told that I could compete with Cinnabon. Seriously. We've decided that my Cinnamon Roll place would be called "On A Roll" Onna Roll... get it? hehe Anyway, I still have people talking about them. Some of the comments of my coworkers were "best cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten" "You're the baker of the group now" "OMG these are heavenly" So it was all good all the time! I've even had people still asking when I'm bringing more back. I have to say too that I was worried tons about the 1/4 cup of coffee that the glaze calls for. I am NOT a coffee drinker. In fact, hate the taste of it. Sorry Ree (she loves coffee) and I almost didn't put it in there but take it from someone that hates the taste in anything that you cannot taste it in these and it does not ruin the taste at all. Do not be afraid. I'm glad I wasn't!

REMAKE! You better make those again or I'll smack ya! (but it will have to be when I have plenty of time).

I loved making these. I felt so accomplished and loved telling people that I made them from scratch! I haven't hardly made anything from scratch, let alone cinnamon rolls, which seem over the top. So yummy! Oh so yummy!
