The first of many trials to come...
I really like cinnamon rolls and they are one of the favorite things I bake that my family enjoys.
I've read so many different recipes, especially small batch, that I've got to try them. Maybe not all of them...maybe.
- https://www.dessertfortwo.com/small-batch-cinnamon-rolls/ - makes 7 or 8
- https://www.dessertfortwo.com/quick-cinnamon-rolls-for-two/ - makes 4 and doesn't require yeast
- https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/small-batch-cinnamon-rolls-recipe - makes 2
I tried 2 of the 3 recipes listed above...not a good substitute for my favorite RealSimple Cinnamon Roll Recipe from 2018.
I liked that the Quick Cinnamon Rolls didn't require yeast, meaning no rise time. While the flavor was good, the texture was different from what I am used to.
Next with the Small batch cinnamon rolls recipe from King Arthur Baking. The time and techniques were similar to that of my "norm" the results was just 2 cinnamon rolls. They were ok. Part of the issue could have been the chilliness of my kitchen affecting the rise and puffiness.
small batch keto cinnamon rollI also tried the KAB version with their Keto flour and baking sugar alternative. Uh, not my fav. Again, the rise and puffiness was not as I would have expected and taste was not to my liking.
The dough had been smooth before baking but that's not how it came out.
I may try again with adjustments for the puffiness.
I didn't put the glaze nor cream cheese on them because I wanted to try them plan first. The cinnamon sugar flavor was good - both versions - but the dough/roll, a little different.
So, yes, I will continue to try these including a gluten-free version for my gluten sensitive friends. More to come....
