Pioneer Woman would be proud!

Marina and I took it upon ourselves (and little Sofia) that we would make Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls in her cook book.

It called for lots and lots of butter, and sugar, and stuff that sticks to your finger and hips. I made the mistake of not taking pictures until the end of the whole adventure (and that's really what it was). But you do get to see the finished product.


Here is the dough rising in the nice warm bowel, it worked much much better than the Cinnamon Bread that I tried a while ago... Marina and Sofia have a way with yeast.


After kneading and playing we rolled the dough out and put the sugar and butter and cinnamon (read: we used 1/2 the butter and it was still good... I can't imagine what it would be like with all the butter).


We then rolled them and put them into pans, since the recipe made a TON of rolls we froze most of them in the Offner's freezer, but made two pans for immediate consumption.


They were/are AMAZING! I was so impressed in us! I could not have done it without the Offner ladies. We made a glaze with maple syrup and lots of confectioner sugar. Wonderful. I could eat the whole bowl of it.

We didn't get a picture of the rolls with the glaze, we were too busy eating them, sorry folks.

On a side note, Latin Teacher and Spanish Teacher were doing the patch work that was discussed in the Bathroom Renovations post along with installing a ceiling fan in Sofia's room. But that wasn't the real work done today.
