BIG WEATHER RECIPES CINNAMON ROLLS HOW TO
What I didn’t anticipate was how dangerous it would be to know how to make cinnamon rolls on a whim. With patience and much precision, we managed to roll the buns without getting paper stucked and baked into the dough. But nothing was going to get in between me and birthday buns. I will say that the recipe that I went off of told me to use parchment paper but the dough was so sticky and I probably didn’t flour the paper enough, so I had a bit of a nightmare when it all started sticking to the paper.

I even had cream cheese already in the fridge! The stars were aligning and we were going to have buns!

Sometimes life has a way of letting all the clutter fog up your mind and then like Karl the Fog, the sun comes out, and it’s gone. This bothered me for days until one morning I woke up and it seemed so obvious. Birthdays are great and everyone deserves to at least have one day a year don’t you think? It’s the one day where you can wake up and declare that this will be an amazing day and most people will go along with whatever plan helps make it that way. It’s the one day of year you can pick a restaurant you love and your friends won’t battle you to go somewhere else. So regardless if anyone ever tells me that they don’t want anything or birthdays aren’t a big deal, I always will consider a birthday a big deal. I fly home every year, we go out to a big fancy dinner, there are lots of bottles of wine and of course a big present reveal. I come from a family where we celebrate birthdays big – it’s probably because we all have birthdays within 10 days of each other – we call it the family birthday – and it’s sort of a big deal. We came back and I felt pretty lousy about it, not only was it a small gesture, but it wasn’t even the right small gesture. Perfect, his dad loved cinnamon buns! I thought this would be a great little surprise to bring back, only to realize they didn’t have cinnamon buns, but cinnamon rolls, you know those big swirly type donuts totally not the same. We were close to a donut shop that knew they used to go to and I remembered that he had mentioned getting the cinnamon buns there. Last year Jimmy’s dad was in town for his birthday, we were driving around and I remember asking him what we should get his dad since the day had been a little uneventful. 2 tablespoons, room temperature butter.
