A Hankering

I had a hankering for gooey cinnamon scrolls the other day. I guess you could call it a craving. I was definitely determined to make what I wanted. I knew I had seen a recipe on Corrie's blog but couldn't find it so a quick email (and a very quick reply from her - thanks Corrie!) and I was set to get making.

This original recipe comes from the Pioneer Woman blog - this woman has good taste of the knowledgeable taste bud kind. I made a half batch of her scrolls as I am supposed to be emptying the freezer before we move, not filling it. I then halved what I made. The first night I stuck to the original recipe but made a lighter, vanilla icing that oozed and melted into the warm scrolls and a couple of nights later I added sultanas and currants and a little less butter. The first ones were the best!

These really hit the spot and are not hard to make at all - no kneading, just some patience required.

Some crafting is going to happen tonight. I love that anticipation of a bit of a stitch-in.

    I love all things cinnamon, so I'm sitting here drooling - not good for the keyboard I can tell you.

    I can't wait for you to bring around my scrolls!!! You are so sweet! Are you bringing some for dessert on Monday night? No pressure. Hey, if I try to make them one day, what measurement of yeast did you use? x
