THank you, you sweet darling! I made this this morning and they were perfect and heavenly. I've made any cinnamon rolls from various recipes and these are perfection.

I think a big factor is the icing, which is pretty unique.

I have been making these for years too. The nice thing is it a one pot kinda recipe. Melt butter in a big pot, mix in your ingredients, leave to rises in the pot too. No kneading.

The dough is versatile too and makes a large amount. After the first rise, I put half the dough away to make cinnamon rolls for Easter or dinner rolls. It freezes well. The dough can be used for parker house rolls.

Even working with just half the dough, it is enough for about 3 pie pans of cinnamon rolls.

I like Preppy Kitchen's cinnamon rolls (https://preppykitchen.com/skillet-cinnamon-rolls/) - but I'm going to have to try these heavy cream ones now

The serious eats recipe is very good.

Should I be embarrassed that I can vouch for two of the recipes linked in the thread?

The recipe on Sally’s site is faster and less involved. The recipe on the tastes of Lizzy T is a bit more involved, and the results are a lot more rich. My family prefers the recipe on Sally’s, and I prefer the decadence of the recipe on Lizzy T’s site.

I was coming here to say this too. One bowl! I make it into 2 pans and freeze one.

For years I have been using a “Cinnabon copycat” recipe and I love it- enriched dough, 2x rise, plenty of butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. I omit any glaze or frosting in the interest of saving a few calories...

But I just read the “pour over heavy cream” in this recipe-

Have you tried this? Is it good? Does it work?

This has become a regular treat for us during quarantine - we had them today! Yes, I use the heavy cream. It's amazing - you pour it on and it looks like so much and I wonder how it will ever work, but it absorbs while they are baking and makes them moist and so so worth it. The recipe makes 12, so this time I froze six and baked the rest, so just halved the amount of cream. I have also refrigerated before the second rise and let them rise in the morning before baking, added cream and they turned out perfect (this would be a great thing to do so that they could just be baked on Christmas morning!).

This never occurred to me! Thanks for asking, OP

Nice soft dough -- easy to work with.

In the mood to attempt cinnamon rolls. Anyone have a great recipe to share?
