• found this recipe is easy to follow and a real treat to eat but how to keep that rectangle shape? lol

• Seems to me these rolls keep their shape by putting them in a muffin tin. I wonder if visitor #1 did this.

• I made these rolls with my kids this morning and they loved them! Very easy to make, and it was a fun recipe to have them help with. Thanks for the great recipe! We will be making these again.

• WOW! My kids love the refrigerator brand cinnamon rolls, but my oldest said he likes these better! They are incredibly easy to make and they disappear in no time. The only thing I would say is, instead of putting them in the muffin tin, put them in a cake pan. The sides turn out soft and they don’t rise up as much as out to the side (like the store bought kind. I did it both ways, and both ways were yummy, we just like the sides of our rolls soft. Just an option.
