Mom used to make cinnamon rolls around the holidays, and we kids would look forward to these rare treats. Unlike cinnamon rolls that most people are familiar with, mom never frosted them. Instead she baked them in a brown sugar-heavy cream “goo” that would soak in and make those rolls irresistible.
To save time, she would use a box of Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix, which I also recommend and use for this recipe.
Gooey and downright delicious! I wouldn't blame you if you licked the pan clean after eating a whole batch of these rolls in one sitting. You can adjust the amount of cinnamon up or down to suit your taste.
