I am telling you, you cannot go wrong with these rolls. I am not a baker and I have made them 3x. The yeast has always proofed. Follow the original recipe on Ree's site about waiting for the scalded milk to cool before adding your yeast. My neighbors and workmates were over the moon. One thing you can do also as gifts for friends is make them and put them in the refrigerator. Then write or type out the instructions on how to bring them to room temp and then baking instructions so your neighbors can have them warm when they like. Just give them some extra frosting on the side to pour on when they come out of the oven! The maple frosting with coffee is THE BEST! I love love love Ree's show.

I found this cinnamon roll recipe one of the easiest I have ever used! This is the one that I will go to every time. I agree with the previous reader that it was much easier to make a "paste" using the butter/cinnamon sugar and then baste the dough. The melted butter was a bit messy. They were moist and delicious. Everyone that I made them for raved about them. The maple icing was to die for. If I ever lose this recipe, I would die!!! A definite win!!

I have made this recipe twice for a group of six and it was a big hit both times. It does take some time to make but it is well worth it. I put less icing on a some of the rolls for people that don't like it so rich.

I received Rees cookbook for Christmas from a good friend and I'm hooked! Just finished my first batch and the first half I undercooked and put too much frosting on. The second half I cooked longer, put maybe 1/2 of the frosting on while hot and they were perfect! I love the step by step instructions (and pics for each recipe and her cute humor thrown in throughout. She makes each recipe seem super easy and therefore less intimidating. Thanks Ree and HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM COLORADO!

For some reason, mine did not rise well. I made the dough one day and made the rolls the next. Cooked them the second morning

I am not a baker, but this recipe was not difficult at all. I made these rolls for the first time yesterday and they came out amazingly good. I did some research on the side which I believe contributed to the success of this recipe. Here are my tips to share :
1. Milk mixture must be cooled to LUKEWARM temperature before sprinkling yeast on top. Yeast will not rise in cold water, and hot water kills yeast
2. Instead of melted butter, use room temperature butter by spreading it with a icing spatula. I reduced the butter to 1 1/2 cups and it was plenty moist
3. I put the dough in my oven using the "proof" setting to ensure the dough was "set aside in a relatively warm place,"
4. I prefer puffy rolls so I sliced them into 1 1/4" sections. The rolls came out nice and pudgy
5. I made half a batch with a twist by adding 1 lb of crushed pecans mixed with 1 3/4 cups of sugar plus cinnamon. The pecan added extra texture and nuttiness
I hope you will find above tips useful. Good luck.

Made these rolls for Christmas brunch this year as well as gave out as gifts. So easy to make and they turned out amazing!!! I used almond milk instead of the whole milk for the dough to make them a bit healthier, Rey still turned out great with no problems. For the frosting I used a bit more powdered sugar because I added more coffee for a more intense coffee maple flavor! Thanks for a great holiday addition! These are now a staple for all of our Christmases to come!

I'm an avid baker and this recipe seemed easy enough or so I thought! I followed this exact recipe at least 4-5 times and I encountered the same problem each time. My dough didn't rise and the rolls were tough with very little flavor. I tried all sorts of things including warm water baths and fresh yeast but nothing worked. I researched a few more recipes and decided to use my dough hook to mix and it helped with the texture but overall, I was very disappointed. I also noticed that this recipe slightly varies depending on which website you use so I tried both ways (from her site and this one with no luck.

followed directions exactly, looked wonderful and the kitchen smelled delicious, but.....dough tasted like yeast.... Unsure what I did wrong, but very disappointed...YUCK!
2 stars b/c dough was easy to work with.
