Cinnamon Rolls – moan factor 15 !

August 2, 2013 by Maureen 97 Comments

John suggested that I make some cinnamon rolls for his dad who has a sweet tooth the size of a Volkswagen.  I really didn’t want to because I knew I’d end up eating too many.  Why is it that sweet things can call me all the way upstairs?  I’m not sure why OR how but it happens.  It happens all too often.

How to make cinnamon rolls

I knew he’d enjoy them so I made some using my Thermomix.  I’d seen all the clone of a Cinnabon recipes but the last time I tried one it made an enormous panful and there are only 3 people here and one doesn’t eat sweets.

The recipe I chose was very “Cinnabon-y” and Rob ate one with gusto.  With John looking on, we decided that this recipe had a moan factor of 15 on a scale of 1-20.   Why not 20?  We thought there might be too much filling and they were too sweet.  Wait…  did I actually type that I thought something was too sweet?  I wasn’t sure that was possible.

Clone of a Cinnabon

I’m going to give the Thermomix recipe just so you’ll know just how nifty this machine is.  There are heaps of Cinnabon clone recipes and feel free to add your link to the comments.

I was going to post a photo of my nifty homemade worm farm that Rob helped me build (from Lizzie Moult’s instructions) but it just doesn’t seem right to put worms on the same page as cinnamon rolls.  You’ll have to wait.  🙂

And Rob has decided to stay another month.  Could it be all this cooking that’s keeping him interested?  Might be.  He loves being spoiled and I must admit that we really enjoy having him here.
