How to Serve Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are best served warm. You can drizzle extra icing on top if you like. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast.

How to Store Cinnamon Rolls

To store leftover cinnamon rolls, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Cinnamon Rolls

• Use warm milk but not hot, as hot milk can kill the yeast.
• Allow the dough enough time to rise for fluffy rolls.
• You can make the dough the night before and refrigerate it. Just let it rise in the morning before baking.

Variation

For a twist on the classic recipe, you can add nuts or raisins into the filling. Alternatively, try using different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique flavor.
