Cinnamon Rolls

Weather is getting cold now.Smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls is nothing better on a cold weather in the morning.Enjoy warm and delicious cinnamon rolls in the morning really wake me up.This time I prepared the dough the night before and let the rolls rise in .The yeast dough for these cinnamon rolls includes sour cream and lots of butter.I found that adding the sour cream in the dough make the bread soft and kind of like a danish pastry.Cinnamon has always my favorite spice, ever since I ate my very first Cinnamon rolls.Everytime I eat cinnamon rolls,it will remind me of Hum chim peng(Can be savoury and sweet).It is a chinese version of cinnamon rolls but it is fried with oil. My next challenge will be Hum chim peng.
