Y’all, today definitely did not go according to plan. 😂 I had every intention of having cinnamon rolls down at the stand by lunchtime, but my KitchenAid mixer had a different plan in mind.
These cinnamon rolls take a little time because I don’t rush them. I mixed the dough last night and let it cold ferment overnight, which gives it time to develop more flavor and helps make the rolls soft, fluffy, and gooey the way they’re supposed to be. Then they get rolled out, filled, cut, and have to sit and rise until they’re nice and fluffy before they ever make it into the oven.
Last night, while I was mixing all that dough, my little KitchenAid was definitely letting me know it had had enough. 😂 I was trying to make double batches because these cinnamon rolls go so fast, and I ended up having to stop, divide the dough in half, and finish it in smaller batches.
That got me thinking last night that if I’m going to keep making this many at a time, I’ve got to get a bigger commercial mixer. So I started looking, found one, and went and picked that thing up today! 🙌 I am SO excited because it is going to completely change what I’m able to do in this kitchen.
I’ve been back home for a while now and everything is moving along. Cookies are baking, Rice Krispie treats are being prepped, and the cinnamon rolls are rolled, cut, and rising. As soon as they’re nice and fluffy, they’ll go into the oven for about 30 minutes. Then I’ll get them glazed, packaged, and down to the stand.
I’m shooting for no later than 8:00 tonight. As soon as they’re finished and I’m headed down there, I’ll put out another message so y’all know they’re on the way.
And if you’re already settled in for the night, they’ll still be there waiting on you in the morning. Remember, the stand is self serve and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can stop by whenever it works for you. And if you happen to get a late night cinnamon roll craving, you know where to find them. 😂🤎
I also just want to say thank you to all of you who continue to support our little honor system stand. It means a lot to be able to put things out there and trust that people will do the right thing. Of course, every now and then things don’t add up perfectly, but overwhelmingly, y’all are wonderful. I’m thankful we’re able to have something like this in our community, and I’m thankful for every one of you who stops by, supports it, and helps make it possible.
Now, back to these cinnamon rolls. Fingers crossed they decide to hurry up and get fluffy. 😂
