Cinnammon Rolls (Cinnabon Copycat)

I was intrigued by the famous Cinnabon that Ali Baluch @baluchx kept mentioning about in Twitter. I had a craving over cinnabon but sadly it is nowhere sold in Singapore. But the good thing, it is Easy to make and I mean it. It takes practise to roll though but you'll get it soon! We made a 'Copy-cat Cinnabon' that tasted as yummy as it looks. Delis-yo-to!!

Nope, I did not get the rolling correct at first attempt. The secret to perfect roll is to start rolling from the longer edge or side if you call it and be very gentle when slicing it. The way to slice is by using a greased knife or a long floss to cut about 1 and a half inch rolls.

Tightened the rolls before placing it in the greased baking tray and let it sit for about 20 to 30 mins to let it rise! Yippee!

After baking till golden brown. Let it cool for a bit and glaze cream cheess frosting on top. That's the bestest part of all. Don't be afraid to try. Its very delicious and I planned on baking a variety kind of rolls: Lemon Rolls using lemon jelly fillings, and Nutella Rolls next time. It is very delicious and is worth the try!!

The recipe is as below inspired from Pinterest recipes. I substituted brown sugar with dark brown sugar (gula melaka powder) and mix it with a tablespoon of cinnamon. It tasted really good! If you like to substitute brown sugar with castor sugar is fine too. Remember to use cinnamon powder ofcourse - the smell of cinnamon right from the oven was heavenly. Worth the effort! 😍
