This is not diet food. Sigh. We love to add flax seeds to the dough, to give it an extra-nutty flavor.

I can't remember the name of the coffee store but goodness the rolls were so good. I went back twice more for them ( 2 different days that is). I must find a recipe to make them but I'm not great when it comes to cooking with yeast. Have you found anywhere in Ireland who stocks them? By the way, yours look so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They look like the rolls we traditionally do in Finland, too, wonder if they taste the same. Oh they look so good!

I enjoyed the description of your grandmother's recipe "dis-remembering" and your MIL's advice, too. Thanks for sharing the memory and good guidance. The cinnamon rolls look lovely and tasty.

She worked the dough with her hands adjusting the ingredients until the dough "felt right". One of the funniest stories about Granny is the day she was making the dough and took it out of the bowl to work it with her hands. She was kind of throwing it from one hand to the other somehow and got a little too vigorous. The dough got away from her, shot across the kitchen and hit our mother.

Mira has suddenly taken an interest in baking and she wanted to try her hand at cinnamon rolls, so we were rewarded with two pans of cinnamon rolls last week. And because they were sooooo tasty, I made a batch for my last class pot luck. Everyone had to agree that they were wonderful! It has been a banner week for cinnamon rolls in my house too!
