Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls Easy


This morning after being woken up at 5am by a sweet little girl of mine I decided to make this recipe, I have wanted to try from my cousin. She said it was super easy but she is an excellent chef so I was not really sure how easy it really would be. But to my amazement it was super easy and delicious! I made some eggs and orange juice and me and Annika served, Oma, Danny, Amy and Katie all breakfast in bed on this beautiful snowie morning! Enjoy, we sure did! Thanks Natalie!


Super Easy Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and mix well. Stir in vegetable oil. Add buttermilk and stir just until blended. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll dough into a 15x8-inch rectangle. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round baking pan lightly.

Pinch seam to seal. Cut the roll into 1 ½ inch slices. Arrange slices, cut side up, in prepared baking pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven.
