They did turn out nicely. The dough was a bit sticky but dusting with flour before rolling helped a lot. My daughter brought me a jar Penzeys Vietnamese Cinnamon. Very nice aroma and flavor.
In BBA he mentions using a latex gloved hand to ice the buns. I did that and really liked the pattern it made, it was fun too.
One question, do you find that the leftover buns are a bit dry the next day?

Ooops! You’re right, I didn’t make note of the yeast. So I’ve updated the post above, it went in along with the flour and buttermilk.

See, the Mis en Place is really helpful!

Hope they turned out well. I can pretty much guarantee they won’t last long at all.

Hi, I have come to this blog late in the challenge and am reading and baking as I go along. I printed out your instructions because they were so easy to follow and did my Mise en place faithfully. I was following the BBA and your blog instructions just becuase I am not confident in my abilities and 2 heads are better than 1. But as I mixed my flour and buttermilk I looked over and there sat my yeast. I read and reread your instructions but didn’t find where you instructed to add it, so I went back to the BBA and realized I should be adding it to the flour and buttermilk mixture. Did I miss it somewhere?? Anyway, had to add more flour as it was still sticky and now it is in a bowl for its bulk ferment.
Thank you so much for the tip on the buttermilk and the shower cap. I travel a lot for business and now have a use for those caps.
I hope my buns look as beautiful as yours when they are baked tomorrow morning.

No idea precisely how much but a nice amount as seen in the photo, enough to be generous.

wow!!! thanks for the step by step photos. they really helped me a lot in making the cinnamon rolls. just a quick question though, did you add extra flour to the dough during the kneading process? i had to add some more because my dough was super sticky even after 10 minutes of kneading. thanks

Awesome buttermilk tip! I will be switching over to that because I never really drink whole milk all that often. Love stuff that can be frozen and reused.

Nicely done!!

What a great post! Fantastic! I don’t think I’ve ever had a windowpane like yours. Maybe I need to be more patient.
