Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls

Bakery style cinnamon rolls don’t have to take all day to make. You can make them start-to-finish in less than an hour and only a few minutes hands-on time. The “secret” to these delectable rolls is covering them in cream just before baking. You won’t regret it, I promise! xoxo Julie Blanner

While you can bake them in a traditional baking dish, I love them in the cast iron skillet. It cooks them evenly & feels like they’re fresh from my Grandma’s farm and goes easily from oven to table for serving.
For a little fall flavor, try these Apple Cinnamon Rolls as well!
