Grandma Cinnamon Rolls
The recipe for my Grandma’s cinnamon rolls has been a part of, and in the family ever since I can remember. Every time my Grandparents came over for family visits, my siblings and I would grab Grandma and put her to work in the kitchen. Since Grandma always made cinnamon rolls for us, we started calling her “Grandma Cinnamon Rolls”. While Grandma was working away in the kitchen, we had to go to bed, but we would try our best to get a glimpse of those cinnamon rolls. Then early in the morning we would try to be the first one up to get the biggest one.
My Grandparents don’t live near, so I decided to try and make them myself. My Mom said that our family had a bakery in England a long time ago. I’ve always wanted to start my own bakery someday, so that gave me even more excitement to start baking.
