Cinnamon rolls

My friend had me over today to show me the ropes of cinnamon roll making. Our kids played great and got out every toy in her house while she and I mixed and measured and talked.

It was therapeutic.

And the end result was PHENOMENAL!!

I have made a lot of cinnamon rolls in my time, this recipe takes the cake. The roll part melts in your mouth and is unbelievably soft.

Usually, I frost cinnamon rolls to alleviate the dryness or denseness of the roll. These needed nothing!

I cant wait for next weekend, I have convinced my sister in law that WE NEED to make these while she is here.

2 cups scalded milk
1/3 cup butter
