Why I Love This Recipe

This is an extremely versatile recipe passed down by my grandmother It just depends on how you fill the dough. My mother uses cinnamon and a combination of Dark adn Light brown sugar. Both my mother and I use the 4 tb of butter per dough round and 8 oz of brown sugar, but I use Dark brown and add Cardamom and Mace since I like more spices. The added weight of the butter & sugar produces a much heavier and gooey ‘sticky roll’ as opposed to my grandmother who uses only 2 tb of butter spread on each dough round and about 4 oz of light brown sugar sprinkled with a little cinnamon. This puts less strain on the dough allowing for a MUCH higher rise and thusly producing a lighter and fluffier cinnamon “roll”. She will also use cream cheese frosting on the finished product as well. Neither my mother nor myself use any frosting since our finished product is covered in carmel-y goodness already.
