Birthday Cinnamon Rolls {To Die For}

 It was his birthday - the 43rd, actually - and He decided to indulge in home-made cinnamon rolls. I snagged the privilege of making them for him and even allowed Kara and Becca to help me ;) I just love to bake...because even if the recipe flops, a few grateful siblings will still lick out the pan

There's lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of butter. 

We need to keep one things straight, by the way - butter is good for your brain. (Depending on which study you read ;)

Unfortunately, there's lotsa this stuff in there, too. 

Kara = helpin' me out :D

Kneading...kneading...kneading

More butter :) *happiness*

And THIS is what you have to let rise. (By the way, this is definitely a time-consuming project.)

Kara and I found it necessary to abandon the first batch of dough that we tried. Therefore, we got out mom's trusty tried and true recipe, but thought we'd only make a fraction of it...so there was a lot of math going on. (Hope nobody needs the recipe for Rhubarb Nut Bread anytime soon...)

Snitching....

.

There you have it. The perfect birthday breakfast...or any breakfast, for that matter.

We usually indulge in these at least once every year...you might keel over a die of happiness if you had them more often. ;) 

And, look! I've even thrown the recipe in for free.

You're welcome ;)
