From a cookbook that my mother put together for our church when I was 9 or 10. It’s full of recipes from all the old grannies that my mother grew up with, so you know they're good! I thought this was an interesting twist on cinnamon rolls, and the fact that it doesn't call for yeast was an added bonus. (I hate fussy baking. All that rising and re-rising and waiting...I just don't do it.) My hubby loves cinnamon rolls, so I definitely have to try these. Hope you do too! Enjoy! **This recipe is from Ruth Evans, who has gone to be with Jesus, and was one of my grandmother's closest friends.**
