Helpful tips and tricks

The one mistake I used to make with these cinnamon rolls is not kneading the dough long enough. I was very impatient. Can you blame me? Now every time I make them, I use my stand mixer with the hook attachment, and I just let it do the job. Just make sure the dough comes off the sides and bottom of the bowl and you are ready to go. It takes about 5-8 minutes. If it is not happening at all, the dough needs more flour.

Roll the dough as tight as you can and pinch the edge to make sure the rolls don’t unroll when you cut them. Use the sharpest knife you have and gently slice each roll in back and forward motion. Don’t press the knife down to cut them or the rolls will lose their shape.

I like to divide the rolls in two separate 9″ aluminum pie pans and bake them all at once. We have one batch freshly baked for breakfast and freeze the second one for another time. Just preheat your oven at 350 degrees and warm up the rolls for about 10 minutes.

Hello, my name is Marisol Chancellor. I was born and raised in Monterrey Mexico. I’ve been living in Texas for 12 years and even when I love barbeque, fruit cobblers and sweet tea, there’s something that has the power of transporting me right back to my mom’s kitchen and gives me a little piece of home, cooking. I grew up in the kitchen and for me, memories are always linked to food, and behind the food, well, there’s always a story that comes along. So, please let me share with you my love for cooking and while we are at it, let’s share some memories, because let’s be honest, we are also hungry for nostalgia.
