The Tale of the Cinnamon Rolls

Yikes. The YW in our ward were having a fund raiser Valentine's Dinner and asked for donations of desserts. I said I would make a pan of cinnamon rolls. I didn't have a good recipe so on Tues I experimented and came up with a really good recipe, which I made on Fri and took over to the church. My Ktech mixer had died when I tried it on Tues, so I just kneaded them by hand, and found it enjoyable; I have read other bakers that said they found a satisfaction in the kneading by hand. They were easy and fun to make, and since I didn't get to eat any, I was craving a cinny roll - yesterday I made them - and ate 2 - this morning I added up the calories and discovered one was 500 cal - so YIKES!!
