My aunt (in MN) used to make a batch of cinnamon rolls about every 3-4 weeks. Totally from scratch; yeast dough. I have never had any quite like them. Heavy on the gooey cinnamon-sugar layer between the rolls. No glaze or frosting because none was needed. Hard to describe the dough; yeasty, slightly chewy but very light, just a bit of "crisp" on the browned tops. MMMmmmmm.

She supposedly gave up the recipe once, but nobody in the family could duplicate the end result. Maybe she left out a few details on purpose?

They are in the oven so that they can rise again. Once they rise enough to be touching, I will take them out, warm the oven up and bake them.

Reminds me of an old German lady I used to know.She walked five miles every day to town to work in a bakery to support the farm.Unreal baker,never used a recipe just a little of this and that.

She didn't leave anything out other than the environment you ate them in! The recipe is pretty simple. I usually do homemade pizza/Stromboli dough at the same time since the stuff is all out.

All proofed and waiting for the oven to warm up to 350 so I can put them in to bake

There is a small bakery a little bit down the road from us. We would stop there for coffee when we lived closer, they also had homemade cinnamon rolls. If you were there early they would still be warm... boy were they good.

I find that you need to double the frosting recipe to get enough frosting, and let the mixer run for several minutes mixing the frosting to make it light and fluffy (almost like cool whip) or it won't spread well.
