Everyone’s Favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

This may not be one of the easiest recipes on my blog but they sure are delicious! My oldest son requests these every time he comes home so we really try to make them happen. They are a favorite ‘go-to’ for special days and we recently had them for breakfast before the latest baby shower. We also had them for breakfast before the wedding last year.

Forgive the cover photo as I used leftover icing to ice these with… I’ll try to get a better photo the next time I make them 🙂

This is a multi-step process and need a little preparation but they are so worth all the extra effort! These can make any day a special day and we often have them on the mornings of special holidays or events.

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 5 c.  Flour (If using self-rising flour you can omit the next 3 ingredients)
  • 2 c. shortening or butter
  • 2/3 c. sourdough discard
  • 1 1/2 – 2 c. Buttermilk (you can use regular milk and add 1 T. Vinegar)
  • 1 ½  t. salt
  • 2 T. honey (optional)

You can wait and add these right before baking but I usually add them while I make everything else… adding it later will help them to be extra fluffy!

Cinnamon Rolls – NO SOURDOUGH NEEDED

This is an easy way to make cinnamon rolls from scratch… they aren’t quite as good as our Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls but they are close. This is perfect if you don’t have sourdough.

You can choose to ice them or just give them a little sprinkle of powdered sugar. These remind me of old-fashioned cinnamon rolls as the dough is more of a biscuit texture, but oh so good!

I cut mine a little thinner and usually end up with 20-24 medium sized rolls.

It’s starting to feel like home…

The past couple of months have been so stressful. It started as a long-awaited master bathroom remodel that had to be put on hold due to an unexpected emergency with a family member. This emergency meant that we needed to focus on other areas of the house… things that we had planned to do in the future- after the bathroom.

Another project took over so that we could create another room in the house and it is finally finished. There are some touchups to complete and I know there will be some furniture changes in the future but it is finished for now… at least until after the upcoming baby shower.

I’ve been wanting to put a wall up between the breakfast area and the den for long time. I created a wall and separated the area in so many ways over the past few years that I felt confident that a wall would be beneficial. You can see some of the many ways that this space has changed HERE.
