Remember Mama always made the best cinnamon rolls. We were so poor we did not have power sugar so mama would take the left over flour, sugar, and cinnamon left over on her board and put that on the rolls. Then right before she put them in the oven she would pour heavy cream over them. This would make the most delicious goo on the bottom of the cinnamon rolls...
I never have a lot of flour mixture left on my board after I cut the cinnamon rolls. I try to be very neat and keep it all in the rolls. so I make up a little pile of flour, sugar, and cinnamon and put on top...I have tried this several times...They are never as good as Mom's but the kids like them. Last week I spoke to Brother and he said he had made some and used a can of canned milk and it was pretty close to Mom's. He said another can of milk and he would just about have it right....I told him that will run over in his stove and make a mess...I then remembered Mama's often ran over in the oven...He said he also used lots of butter...Mama always said they were never as good with canned milk but she did have to use that sometimes...
I use a whole stick of butter in the filling but today I cut another stick up on top of the rolls...I also added 2 cups of whipping cream...I am sure this will run over in my oven. It is a good thing it is all ready dirty...
I had to make sure the rolls are baking on the top rack and the Cinnamon buns are on the bottom...I just hope it does not set off the smoke alarms. It is only a little before 7 here and everyone is still asleep....I guess if the cinnamon rolls run over too bad everyone will wake up soon..
I have drank a pot of coffee all ready but if the cinnamon rolls look good I may have to make another pot...We will see..

All I can say is wish I was there to help eat the cinnamon rolls. You know I bet the Lunch room lady did nto give me the recipe she used as she probably thought teachers were too stupid to follow it.
