Living close to the home base of a well known cinnamon roll chain, I have pretty high expectations. I made these, though, and I have to honestly say that taste almost EXACTLY like the ones from the fair! Thank you!

I tried to make these at a lake house with very few appliances...needless to say, I had no dough hook. I tried to knead the dough by hand but it never rose. I don't know if my yeast was dead or maybe I'm missing something else...Does anyone have suggestions for hand mixing the dough?
I put the dough in the fridge and later braided it and popped it in the oven just for kicks - turned out sort of like egg challah and was delicious :P I spread left-over orange glaze from Tyler's orange glazed blueberry scones. YUM. My bf's family inhaled it. I hope all my cooking mishaps turn out this well!

As always, my wife was skeptical when I decided to make these. I'm sure she was thinking it would be a disaster - but the next morning, it was like CHRISTMAS! These turned out great - we have 6 kids and they were fighting over who got to lick the plate afterwards. I made these with 1% milk rather than the buttermilk, and get this - I don't have a dough hook - I did the initial mix with a hand mixer and when I got to the flour part, I worked this manually and everything turned out like it should. Also, cut these into 15 rolls rather than 12 - and they were still huge!
Very very easy - and I recommend watching Alton do it on the show - that was where I found this one.

THese cinnamon rolls make the ones at the mall look like child's play. Well worth the effort.

I decided to scale back the animal fats in this recipe by replacing the buttermilk with soy buttermilk (soymilk+vinegar, the butter with Earth Balance, and the cream cheese with Tofutti, etc. I kept the eggs because I didn't think egg replacer could really do the job in a four-yolk duty recipe. I did it for nutrition, for personal reasons, and because someone with whom I was sharing the rolls is lactose intolerant. The results were perfect. Lofty, sweet, sticky, puffed perfection. And with a stand mixer, they're not incredibly time consuming to make. Make sure to use the recommended cassia cinnamon for maximum oomph. As usual, Alton Brown is a cooking god made mortal to show us all the way.

The rolls are sooooo good. My family enjoys waking up to the cinnamon roll smell on Sunday mornings. They are good for breakfast and lunch on the weekends.

The dough, like most doughs, take a very long time to rise. 2 1/2 hours sometimes was not even long enough to double in size. Makes the best taisting rolls !! Would be mistakable for Cinnabuns(R cinnamon roll. Have left them longer than 16 hours was still OK. Quality this gets a 5, time consumption to make a 3. In the end it's worth the effort.

I'm not sure that my dough actually doubled during the first rise even after 2.5 hours, and it did take mine about an hour or slightly more to rise the next day in the oven. They puffed up beautifully and still turned out great. During the rise in the cool oven I switched out my boiling water after about a half hour since it had cooled significantly. Personally I think the icing might be a tad too sweet as written, but the rolls are delicious and very light in texture! Best cinnamon rolls I've ever made.
