It had been almost 3 years since I made cinnamon rolls for the last time. I love making them, but always feel like it takes so much time. Although it is not that much work, waiting for the liquids to be at the right temperature, waiting for the dough to rise twice and waiting for the rolls to bake makes the endeavour last many hours.

I decided to make some rolls during the holidays since I was home and had the time to do all the waiting, and made them raisin cinnamon for a friend who told me they loved them. Making them didn’t seem as time consuming as the other times I made cinnamon rolls and I realized it was because I usually start making them late in the evening! So I always ended up finishing them at midnight, or even one in the morning. This time, I started in the afternoon and they were ready for dessert; definitely better!

So my advice is: don’t start making cinnamon rolls in the evening. But definitely make them; they’re so good… you just need freshly baked cinnamon rolls in your life.
