I was peeking through my photo archives this weekend, and found these pics from the 4th of July, when we were kicking it in SoCal with the family. I’d promised my sister I’d teach her the secret methods to making wickedly, wonderfully, mouth-wateringly gorgeous cinnamon rolls. We beat and battered in the kitchen to pull together this favorite family recipe.
Just as the soft, swirling rolls were set aside to rise, my other sis dropped by with her photographic talent of a hubby and the morning turned into a spontaeous photo lesson. Brother-in-law, John (of L.A’s Tony & John Photography) started talking basic tips. Then, he started showing me apertures and exposure and clicks. Before long, we’d turned the house upside-down, pulling out pots and potholders. Bowls, spoons, melted butter. Texture. Color. Design elements. We set up a tiny photoshoot table inside the house, then on the side of the house, then in the middle of backyard–anything to catch that perfectly diffused beachside sun.
With the weather now cooling, and the tide of autumn washing it’s way across the sky, it seemed a perfect time to share this family recipe of ours. From our kitchen (and my sister’s backyard) to yours, Happy Cinnamon Rolling.
The true secret to amazing cinnamon rolls isn't so much the recipe, it's the method. Be sure to read through the instructions below, I've tried to let you in on the ultimate tips to make absolutely perfect cinnamon rolls. FOR THE PERFECT CINNAMON ROLLS: FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
