Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Image
If there is one food that makes me think of Christmas time it is cinnamon rolls.  I think it is because that was usually when  my mom made them.  She did make them other times of the year too, but more often at Christmas than other times.  This year I hoped to make them before Christmas but just didn't have time to make them.  There is something comforting about rolling out the dough, spreading on the melted butter, sprinkling on the cinnamon sugar, rolling them up and then slicing them.  The torture is that is takes so long to make them as the dough needs an hour and a half to rise after mixing the dough and another hour to rise after rolled and placed into pans -- then of course they need to bake about half an hour.  But oh is it worth the wait!!! Then you can eat them plain and straight out of the oven like this:  Or you can soak them in glaze like this:  Either way you do it, they are simply yummy!  It is best to make them for when you have company over or for get-togethe
