Cinnamon rolls that are so good you won't want to share them with anyone! Made from a biscut style dough and made with heavy whipping cream to make a softer dough. Sooooooooo good!
Ingredients:
2 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup salted butter
2/3-3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup melted butter, at room temperature (approximately)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pure cane white sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 pinch nutmeg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350� F.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into large mixing bowl.
3. Using a pastry cutter or pastry blender, cut in butter to flour mixture. Continue to cut butter until mixture is almost as fine as corn meal.
4. Add the heavy whipping cream in small doses stirring with a fork after every dose. The dough should not be sticky but should not be dry a crumbly either.
5. Roll dough into long rectangular shape.
6. Brush melted butter onto the side of the dough facing upward. Be sure to cover all of the showing dough.

12. Brush remaining butter on cinnamon rolls.
13. * For a delicious icing place powdered sugar in a medium bowl and add milk in small increments stirring each time. Continue to add milk until mixture is a moderately thick liquid, not runny.
14. *Add about 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to the mixture. Add more if desired and stir,.
15. * Using a large spoon, drizzle icing onto cinnamon rolls. For less sticky eating, wait until icing has hardened a little before eating.
16. ENJOY!
17. ***For those that like nuts, add pecans to cinnamon rolls in step 8. It gives the cinnamon rolls a great flavor.
