I have two recipes for you for cinnamon rolls, depending on how much time you have to make them. The first is a traditional recipe for cinnamon rolls that you mix, knead, and rise the dough.

The second recipe for cinnamon rolls can be ready in 30 minutes. Yes, just 30 minutes from bowl to belly. Really, they can be made that fast. They are made without yeast, so they are more like a scone consistency but so fast to make and delicious too.

And having it waiting and ready to go makes for a quick breakfast too. Just add a little fresh fruit and milk, then serve. It sure beats throwing granola bars at the kids as they leave for school.
