Today I felt like making cinnamon rolls.  Fall is in the air and I am embracing the cooling weather and crispness outside.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.

I love my own cinnamon rolls the best of all because I can load them with nuts and raisins and season them with mace.  Mace is the secret ingredient that makes a cinnamon roll worth eating.  I put a bit in the dough and I sprinkle more with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

I’m not a frosting person, but I like just a drizzle of icing to give more flavor.  I use vanilla, almond and lemon extracts in my icing.  There are so many delicious flavors in these rolls.  The recipe is below.

I grew up in a “dunking” family.  My mom loved to bake on Saturdays.  We often had “dunkins and milk” for Saturday dinners after a long day of work.  Warm cinnamon rolls dunked in a cup of cold milk or hot chocolate is simply the best ever.
