I make homemade cinnamon rolls. I have been since I first went to Cinnabon 16+ years ago. Pretty much everyone who knows me, knows they are *one of my specialties.* Anyway, my mom stumbled across something on the internet about putting heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls *BEFORE* baking them. I have been using this for a while now, and let me tell you, it works! If you love a gooey cinnamon roll, or even a nice moist one, it's a great way to do that.
Well, this morning I wanted to try it on the canned ones. I always feel like they are dry and over baked. They turned out perfect!! I put about 1/4 - 1/3 C. heavy cream over raw cinnamon rolls, Baked at 350° for about 18 minutes.
**edited to add - Pan was an Aldi special buy earlier this year.
My homemade cinnamon roll recipe is a bit of mash up (I've literally made many recipes and taken what I like and put them together.), and many ingredients aren't measured.
Weighing your ingredients for cinnamon rolls plays a roll in how they turn out - flour is either your best friend or worst enemy.
So many people have said they tried this with creamers, other milk, adding pie filling ect. all very great ideas!

Our Story

Owned and operated by Ralph & Donna Quillin & Son Vince Grupposo, Quillin Leather & Tack is a full service tack and leather goods shop and the largest "custom shops" in the nation. They take pride in their craftsmanship and it shows. Halters are made in small batches and their "made to order" philosophy sets them apart as a provider of quality leather goods and service world wide.

Quillin’s has been in business since 1982, based out of their Main St. shop in Paris, KY. On average they make over 17,000 halters a year with 20 employees working in the shop. They also produce many belts, dog collars and personal leather goods plus feature an onsite engraving shop and complete repair service. "We still hand craft halters the way they were made at the turn of the century." Ralph Quillin said "it's what you would expect when the owners name is out front"

They recently announced an expansion into a second 4000 sq foot location Downtown Paris on Main St. which will serve as a second showroom and primary halter production space for their growing Export Market. As long-time fans of their work, we can attest to the quality and craftsmanship! To find out more and keep up with their news head over to the links below:
