I’ve been reading the Daring Bakers blogs and their recent challenge was to make Cinnamon buns. I’ve made cinnamon rolls before but they were a disaster, extremely dry and it had an “eggy” taste. I didn’t even take a picture of it, that’s how disappointed I was. I got the recipe from the Food Network after watching Alton Brown’s episode of The Dough Also Rises. This time around, I decided to look on Recipezaar.com. The reviews for this recipe were really good so went to the market (again) and got all the ingredients. I got started and realized I forgot the milk =/ and made another trip. *Sigh*
This recipe is a winner! I followed the ingredients but the cooking time the recipe called for was too short. At 20min. the dough was not all the way cooked. So I put it back in for about another 10 min. I inserted an instant read thermometer and took the buns out when it reached 180˚F. The recipe I used the first time said to take out the buns when it reached 190˚F but that resulted in dry buns. The frosting was delicious!
You can find the recipe here.
