I have made these several times and they always come out perfect. I followed the recipe exactly. The only thing I added was a teaspoon of sugar to the yeast.

Oh my word these cinnamon rolls were so easy to prepare & very tender. I did take note frm another reviewer & added 1 tsp. of sugar to my yeast mixture which helped the yeast bloom. my dough doubled in size w/no problem at all. I doubled the ammt. of pecans in place of the raisins & melted a container of vanilla frosting in the microwave in place of the powdered sugar recipe for the glaze. These cinnamon rolls were a "HUGE" hit at my house & not to mention everyone was chomping at the bits for them to get done. the house smelled sooo yummy..I've fwd the recipe to many of my family & frnds to try & I myself w/b making them agan ..real soon

This recipe could use some shaping up. I was very happy with the end result, but I'm so thank full for the other reviews. The only way I could get the dough to rise was putting hot water under the bowl. (Suggested in another review I also left out the raisins and added more brown sugar. Everyone should make this for your family, friends, and coworkers.

I have a bakery that I am always looking for new recipes for. I bake and then deliver my product to local businesses. I have recently had some of my customers asking for cinnamon rolls so I started researching recipes online. I went to the Food Network site and found Nana's Cinnamon Rolls. I have made several different versions and, so far, have had RAVE reviews. The bread is light and buttery, not heavy and chewy like many others I've tried. My kids, being my guinea pigs, have said they are 'the bomb'...which I've heard in todays 'lingo' means....THE BEST! Thanks Neelys!!!

These rolls were delicious! I was a little disappointed that they didn't raise a lot in the pan... until I baked them! Then they filled the pan beautifully! The frosting was perfect! I couldn't resist topping the warm rolls with the icing. Yum!

WOW! They are so easy to make! The dough is fool proof everytime I make it! The longer you let it sit the better. They also bake in less time than recommended for me... more like 15 minutes! My friends and family love them!

Mine didn't rise and I know my yeast was good. Followed the recipe to a T. Made another recipe right after and it was good. Guess there is a problem here. Or with me.

These are moist, gooey, and delicious! I put my dough mixture on a wire rack over a pan of very hot water and covered with a towel for one hour to rise and also did the same when they were in the pan before cooking (30 minutes and they turned out beautiful!
I also used less than half a stick of butter for the filling. Huge hit with my family. Will definitely make again.

I do not consider myself as a serious or accomplished baker. However, I have always had good results when following a specific recipe. I love cinnamon rolls, but have never actually took the time to make them. After watching the Neely's prepare these cinnamon rolls on their show and reading the reviews posted here, I challenged myself to give them a try. I had a huge success with these rolls and was extremely pleased with the final results. It should be noted that the correct amount of yeast is, "two" 1/4 oz packages of dry yeast. Plus, I used the tip (from a reviewer to add 1 teaspoon of sugar in the dry yeast mixture. I had to make an adjustment by adding a little more flour in my dough--it was a little too sticky. I was able to get 10 cinnamon rolls and used all the dough, including the ends. After slicing the rolls and placing them in the baking pan, don't forget to allow them to rise until dough is doubled, 30 minutes or longer. Also, I figured
the recommended 20-25 minutes baking time seemed too long for my oven. My cinnamon rolls were golden brown in just 15 minutes.

I will definitely keep using this cinnamon roll recipe--no more refrigerator cinnamon rolls for me. Thanks Pat and Gina for sharing another one of your family's treasured recipes!
