These gooey, soft homemade cinnamon rolls are perfect for a weekend breakfast or the holidays. They’re super simple to make and come out perfectly soft in the center and just a bit crisp on the outside.
I finally watched Julie & Julia for the first time over Thanksgiving break after a friend recommended it to me. Of course, I loved the fact that it was about a food blogger, but one part that stood out to me was when Julie first started her blog and didn’t have very many readers yet. A notification popped up for a comment that she was all excited about, when she realized that it was just her mom commenting.
This made me laugh because I’m sure a lot of us bloggers can relate. At first, my mom was the only one who commented on my blog and she’s still one of my biggest fans. But a lack of readers at first is no reason to stop blogging! I’m still (slowly but surely) gaining more eyes on my corner of the interwebs, but I continue to blog for me.
Each time I visit my mom in North Carolina, she makes us Mom’s Famous Homemade Cinnamon Rolls. It’s a basic cinnamon roll recipe that turns out delicious rolls every time. These are perfect to make for the holidays or a weekend brunch.
Skip the canned cinnamon rolls and make Mom’s Famous Cinnamon Rolls instead. Before you know it, everyone you know will be calling them “[Insert Your Name’s] Famous Cinnamon Rolls.”
Because eating healthy all the time is boring. And you’re going to need to plump up to stay warm this winter.

Please update the recipe. In the ingredient list there is only one amount of Crisco shortening or butter listed. But in the directions Step 2 calls for shortening. and Step 5 calls for butter ( no amount given). I'm thinking you need to add another 1/3 c of butter to smear on the dough before the cinnamon and sugar. See what you think, I may be wrong.
