That's okay, they're in every airport, too.

I have no idea if this is a good copycat.

And try to use true cinnamon not the supermarket pretend (Cassio) stuff. So
order from a spice merchant your cinnamon, it does make a dfference.

Hahaha! So funny, I'd torn out some pages of coupons planning
to cut whatever one out when I got to it. It's face down and what
is on the other side? A coupon for Cinnabon Pillsbury Grands
Sweet Rolls!! Caught it out of the corner of my eye. Like ... did
I just see Cinnabon? What timing.

Want my coupon? (smile)

Google, on cinnabon, I saw another recipe clone, I'm sure there
are more. Good luck.

Google for it - there are more than 1 or 2. The frosting is a cream
cheese frosting, from what I understand. I don't think there's
anything particularly secret about the rolls - it's a very light dough
and you need a light hand when making them.

My youngest daughter's first job was at Cinnabon. She would bring home
boxes of them. We'd feed the swim team, wrestling team, freeze them for
later and haul them out at family get togethers.

That was over 11 years ago and to this day, I can't stand them! Or the
smell!

Lynette,

I found a recipe for the Cinnabon Recipe. Can't guarantee for the validity
of it though.

BTW, I live in Pearland, TX and am literally a few feet away from
Friendswood, TX so thanks for the correction.

THE Cinnabon Recipe



Rolls:

1¼ oz. pckg. Yeast

1 c. warm milk

½ c. granulated sugar

1/3 c. melted butter (do not substitute margarine- blech!)

1 t. salt

2 eggs

4 c. all-purpose flour



Filling:

1 c. packed brown sugar (I just sprinkle as much as I can and like, never
measuring)

2½ TBS. cinnamon

1/3 c. butter



Icing:

7 TBS. butter, softened

1½ c. confectioners sugar

¼ c. (2 oz.) cream cheese

½ t. real vanilla extract (or almond extract, which I prefer and use)

1/8 t. salt (I don't always use the salt, and in fact, like the taste better
without it)



Rolls: Oven to 400° F.

(1) Dissolve yeast in milk.

(2) Mix in sugar, butter, salt, eggs, flour. Mix well.

(3) Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead into a large ball.
Cover; let rise 1 hour.

(4) Roll dough into a 21" x 16" wide rectangle. With the butter softened, I
just use my fingers to spread it generously over the dough. Load 'er up with
the filling (see below).

(5) Roll from long-side to short-side. Pinch the ends.

(6) Using very sharp knife (I prefer a serrated one) cut into 1 inch wide
rolls, making sixteen. If want fewer, bigger rolls, cut them wider.

(6) Grease (butter) your preferred baking pan (I like mine to be all
squished up next to the other)- I generally use an 11"x 15" pan. Then place
rolls in pan and into oven. Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.

(8) Bake until the rolls are slightly browned and not doughy. This will vary
according to your oven. Just don't overbake.

(9) When done, take 'em out and cover them in the delicious icing.

(10) Do I have to admonish you to "enjoy?" Surely not. Then go eat!



Filling:

While dough is rising, prepare the filling and the icing. Clean-up a little
and then go read a chapter or two in your book.

(1)Soften butter, so that it is spreadable.

(2) After dough has been rolled out to the gigantic rectangle, spread the
softened butter all over.

(3) Sprinkle brown sugar over entire buttered rectangle. Use more if you
like more.

(4) Now sprinkle the cinnamon over the now sugary, buttery, doughy,
rectangle.





Icing:

Cream it all together with an electric mixer (or by hand if you just want to
exhaust yourself for some reason). Spread on hot rolls.

The Cinnabons I've had in FL, WA state and even at Cinnabon franchises
in Honduras could hardly vbe described as a "very light dough." They
have always been doughy and heavy - to the point of feeling like an
undigestable lump. One visit in each place was enough to convince me
to not go back. They ahd a fair shot at several locations. I haven't
figured out why anyone spends money on their cinnamon buns. The only
explanation here in Honduras is that they are perceived as an ultimate
American junk food experience - right up there with the Dunkin Donuts
and Baskin Robbins franchise across the food court from them.

I think notbob hit the nail on the head. They're no better and no
worse than Mrs. Winner's cinnamon rolls and neither one is outstanding
in my opinion.

Be sure to add jet fuel to the recipe, for me the smells of those
airport Cinnabon rolls mixed with the general jet fuel odor at airports
are forever intermixed ;---)

In airports it's the smell of those cheap ghastly Cinnabons mixed with
the smell of jet fuel -- UGH...!!!

Heh, when I think of Cinnabon, I think of airports. That's the only
place I have seen them. I can tell you right now, the last thing you'd
see me do is chow down on something like that when I'm
about to be stuck on a plane, with those bathrooms. Oh no, not this
girl. So, I might never get around to having one.

I know, I'm a freak, but I've never actually had a Cinnabon. And
you're not encouraging me to try one, Greg... ;-)

Donuts I could see, even tacos I could see...but cinnamon rolls in an
airport are just kinda wierd to me...

Actually the coolest food smells I've experienced have been at some
German airports that have those currywurst stands...that spicy smell
and the jet fuel smell seem to jibe together just fine. Or maybe I'm
just kinda strange ;---p

They should market a scent with that smell combo, they could call it
"Airport"...

I kinda dig the smell of jet fuel, but combined with that sickly sweet
Cinnabon smell it makes me wanna gag...

It's along the lines of some of the really foul - smelling fast food
tollway plaza restos I've experienced, e.g. cheap greezy Wimpy's
hamburgers and gasoline...!!!

Okay, here's the worst one for me -- there was a restaurant I used
to cut behind when walking home from the ferry in college. I can't
recall the cuisine, but there was a smell that came from the kitchen
that reminded me of a burrito soaked in cheap cologne. T'would gag a
maggot, I tell ya...

LOL! I'll tell you, when your flight is late and you're starving, and
the only other option is 'stir fry' that's been in a heat tray so long
it's grey, those fat plastic sugar bombs start looking real good...

Oh, I imagine! It's just me, I eat very carefully when I am going to be
stuck in any situation like that. We're talking yogurt. Crackers.
I'm not about to spring any big sugar cinnamon bun on my gut at
that time. But they aren't in business because of me, obviously a
lot of people stop there. Also, I see they sell large boxes of the
things, I guess they take them home.

I also only had my first and only Krispy Kreme a three years ago
or so. Maybe there's hope I'll get a Cinnabon experience one day.
Heh.

Cassia is a great spice if you get good fresh cassia. The flavor
profile is different (true cinnamon is more like what you get in
cinnamon candy like Red Hots or Big Red Gum) but cassia goes real nice
with sweet things.

Other tips for great cinnamon rolls:

Don't bake to the same doneness as bread. Cinnamon rolls should be a
bit under-done.

Cinnabon uses vanilla flavored cream cheese frosting.

Add other spices for extra goodness. Imagine a spice roll with cloves
and cardamom, maybe even ginger. mmmm. Cardamom, especially, makes a
nice exotic roll.

Orange or lemon zest in the frosting? Why not?

Just alluding to any similarity to KK has completely killed any

Yes Nancy, you have me right...I think however that not all cinnabon

Whoops, I spoke too soon -- I didn't realize until I read
further down the thread that Ms. Hebert is doing a "family"
cookbook, not planning to sell the thing. So I apologize for
the rude remark, it was unwarranted...

Oh, I'm sorry. I only related the two as 'things everyone knows
about but me' ... don't let me hold you back from the cinnabon
experience. (laugh) nancy

Lyn,

Yup, of course things are bigger and better in Texas <g>! I've noticed (and
you can't hardly help BUT notice the crowd around the Cinnabon place) so
they've got to have something going for them.

Off topic, but of course Foley's (born in Houston)is now Macy's, but the
transition has been quite smooth. Can't say I like it but...

If they're franchised Cinabon places, they should be pretty much the
same, Texas or not.
Just a suggestion...please use the spell check feature of whatever word
processing program you're going to use for your cookbook. It will save
you "allot" (sic) of embarrassment later on.

Heck, Macy's isn't Macy's anymore. Damn shame.

They're all cookie cutter stores now. Same merchendise, same feel.
Didn't Macy's used to have a great specialty food area (like a tiny
version of Harrods food court) at one time?

Herald Square did. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept up that
tradition, but I don't know. I used to hop the bus up there on my
day off once in a while. It was a wonderful place.

But Federated has bought out the good chains and none of them
are the better for it. You're right, you don't know one from the
other anymore.

True. BUT.....every family cookbook I've ever seen is full of family
favorite recipes. Tried and true, handed down over the years. I'm not
sure how an untested recipe for a copycat to a franchise chain
restaurant fits into a family cookbook. Shouldn't she be using
Grandma's recipe for cinnamon rolls or something?

Sounds fishy to me. NOT a good combination with cinnamon and icing, IMO!

I bet it does sound fishy to you. You are correct about filling the
cookbook with family heirloom recipes. Mine is most certainly filled with
recipes that have been in my family for years. Most cookbooks have a
miscellaneous section and it just so happens mine does too . I will insert
it into the section title miscellaneous.
