This buttermilk cinnamon roll recipie is relatively simple. I'm not sure why so many people added so much more flour! I followed the recipie exactly, adding 4 1/2 cups of flour (stirring in one cup at a time), and it turned out perfect, slightly sticky, but that was fine! I added more cinnamon like mentioned in another review. These are good!

Prepared the Buttermilk Cinnamon rolls last night. Took them out of the refrigerator about an hour before I baked them. I followed the directions exactly. I did add a cream cheese frosting. I can't imagine how bland they would of been without it. The texture is biscuit like. I should of read more of the former reviews. I will not bake these again as cinnamon rolls but with some changes I think it might make a great dinner roll? Use butter, herbs & some cheeses with a nice garlic butter glaze. If you want a light melt in your mouth cinnamon roll, this isn't it.

This was my first time trying cinnamon rolls. So, other than doubling the cinnamon, I followed recipe exactly.. topped with powder sugar glaze. They were really good. The dough itself was great and easy to work with, as for it needing extra flour, I put it on a bit more than lightly floured counter and let the kneading get it to the right amount. The best trick I read in reviews was to slice them with thread, it made it so much easier without smashing them :D But next time, I think I will partially melt the brown sugar with the butter, to spread easier, and be a bit less rich. Thank you for posting it, I will definitely make this again... next week :D

My family really enjoyed these ooey and gooey rolls. They were simple and easy to make. I made 2 batches and saved a batch in the refridgerater for the next morning. I did have a problem with the refridgerated batch not rising like the same day batch, but they still tasted good!These will definetly be made again!

These were delicious! I did find that 4-1/2 cups of flour didn't seem like enough. I did use an additional 1/2 cup or so, but I didn't want to spoil the recipe so I worked with it. It was a little difficult to roll up, but the end result brought raving reviews by my husband & co-workers. I followed an apple cider cinnamon roll recipe for the filling. (Taste of Home Fall Baking pg 111). All in all, the recipe will be making it into my next recipe book :) Definitely a keeper!

Awesome! This is definitely a five star recipe, but I made personal changes to make it a 10 star for us! I added 1/4 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon to the dough from another reviewers suggestion. I cook at lot but am not an experienced baker - I was nervous to make them but they were SO EASY! The one mistake I made was I melted the butter (it was in a stick in the fridge) and than mixed together the brown sugar and cinnamon with it, then spread it over the dough I had rolled out (about a 10x14 rectangle). So when I went to roll it up...it squeezed the mixter out to the end of the roll and made a huge mess (my fault!). I ended up having to scoop up the mixture that squeezed out and spooned it over the top. Next time I will take the instructions from another cinnamon roll recipe on here and use a pastry brush to brush on the butter, then just sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over it. the idea to cut it with a string - genius! I put it in two round cake pans, covered in fridge over night. Took them out the next morning and let them sit for about an hour and then baked at 375 for 20 minutes. Great New Years day breakfast! Awesome!

I love this recipe! I added 1/4 cup sugar and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon to the flour mixture and then doubled the cinnamon in the filling too. If you want to make ahead just drop the icing into was paper in small discs and then flash freeze. Pu them in a baggie in the freezer and then next morning you can just take out and use!! My family loves this recipe and I know you will too!

This recipe is amazing! I didn't need to change a thing. My husband is a loyal cinnabon 'eater' and he said he prefers this recipe. They are plenty sweet without any kind of frosting on top. The brown sugar gets yummy and crystalized on the bottom of the pan. I ashamed to say these didn't last more than 2 days in our home!!
