SPOTLIGHT RECIPE
Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
If you can pass by a Cinnabon Shop in the mall without craving one of these — you have more willpower than we do. The smell of these cooking — which seems to spread throughout the entire wing of the mall — must rank as one of the best “ad campaigns” in the history of marketing.
Make these this weekend for the family or save them for a special occasion or trip. We made them on our “morning to do breakfast” on our last trip to the Smokey Mountains with “the Gang” and had our buddies climbing over each other to get to the table.

Breakfast Recipes to Wake Up For
“These days, George Weld and Evan Hanczor, the farmer/restaurateur and chef behind Willamsburg’s Egg eatery, are serving up more than just scrumptious concoctions like Eggs Rothko or Grafton cheddar omelets with broiled tomatoes. Authors of the newly released Breakfast, they are now offering menus and ideas. The book, they say, ‘is our best argument for waking up and making something delicious for breakfast.’ And what better way to start the day than at Egg, or with one?” – Vogue
George Weld draws on his passion and Southern roots to create the fresh, satisfying dishes his Williamsburg restaurant, Egg, has been serving for ten years.
This book will make breakfast the meal you dream about at night, and the most anticipated part of your morning.

ok it is good

Ok so this looks like a recipe I wanna try. Do I grease the bowl when allowing the dough to rise? And should I knead the dough at any time? Thanx for your response.
I wouldn’t knead the dough. You’ll overwork it and make the doughnut tough. I do like to very lightly grease the bowl of any dough I am allowing to rise. So I would vote yes — but it might not be complete necessary.

Do you have to use whole milk for this or will 2% work?
I think either one would be fine. I’m pretty sure we actually used 2%.
Thanks for the question. James
Do you melt the shortening or is it solid but at room temperature
Clark
Room Temperature.
Thanks for the question.
