Cinnamon Rolls

Last week, I had to make buns for our evening meal, and as I was rolling the dough into a bun shape. . . an idea began to take shape in my mind. My children have never had any sort of cinnamon roll! Crazy, I know, but true. So, once I had enough buns formed, I took the rest of the dough and shaped it into a long snake like figure. I dipped the snake like figure into butter, and dredged the dough trough a mixture of evaporated cane juice and cinnamon. Then I rolled the dough into the shape of a spiral cinnamon roll. I made just enough for each of us to have one. . . I certainly didn't want to go overboard, since I didn't know if they'd be any good or not. While they were baking, I made a glaze to drizzle over them.
They were delicious! My children loved them. It was a huge treat for them.
I made the dough using kamut grain and hard white wheat. So, these, are about as healthy as a cinnamon roll can get! I am convinced. . . that even my mom would love them!! If you knew my mom, you'd think that was a pretty big deal. So, watch out, mom. . . I am going to make one for you when you come visit!
