Quick small batch cinnamon rolls

Notes

  • They are done when the tops are firm when pressed.
  • The inside texture should be soft but fully baked. Not quite the same as a yeasted cinnamon roll, but still tender and not dry.
  • Optional: gently pat tops down before baking to make them look nice. 

Variations

Mini cinnamon rolls: Cut into 3/4” strips the short way, roll up, then place in ungreased mini muffin tins. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Makes 7 or 8.
