Ah thanks MJ... I was too lazy to find it!

Yummmmmmmmmmmmm. I really don't like the idea of putting them into the little foil pie dishes to keep in the freezer. I would be for ever getting one out and baking it. Bigger hips still!!!!
Julie I hope to make these over Easter, thanks, they look beautiful.

I made these as for the family for Sunday breakfast. General consensus - yummmmyyyyy - much better than store bought ones.  They were so moist and soft in texture, not at all like one's I'd made using conventional methods. I did reduce the amount of sugar and butter for the filling and they still turned out great. The dough was a little sweet for me, but I guess they are sweet scrolls.

Julie O,  grandmother to be ,  these look so delicious.  I am doing another bread demo soon,  so would you mind if I made these for morning tea,  with credit to you , of course.   I would also like to give all a copy of the recipe.  Would this be OK with you.?

It's great when someone comes along and bumps up an old thread.

I'm making these right now, they're on their first rise.

[achookwoman]

Chookie, of course it's okay.  Good luck with the demo, your kitchen will smell divine!     

[Frozzie]

oh so have to make these...my dietician will kill me..lol oh well!!

DH and I just made these and they were DIVINE!!!!!  The only thing different we did was to halve the icing mixture.  We are going to freeze the extras - although it is very temping to eat the whole lot.... 

I guarantee we'll get comments at work tomorrow when we reheat them for morning tea.

JulieO,  made these for bread demo, for consultants.  They loved them.  I made them 2 weeks ago and froze them.  Let them re rise a d baked them.  9 people ate 15 rolls.  I made some with your basic dough recipe, but rolled Xmas mince in them.  Why they ate so manta was they were trying to decide which they liked best.   The cinnamon ones won.   Thank you again for this terrific recipe.

Chookie, I'm glad that they were a hit.   

Yesterday I played around with the recipe to incorporate coffee and pecans and discarded the sultanas.  I also reduced the butter in the filling which I wouldn't do again as they were more dry than the original lot.  Also the coffee flavour wasn't strong enough for me.  So will add a bit more next time to see if I can get the balance right.  All in all we enjoyed having one each and the rest have gone in the freezer, so I won't get to try and perfect them for a little while yet.

JulieO,  mine didn't look nearly as good as yours.   But love the sound of coffee ones.  was tempted to have ago,  but will probably wait to see how you go.

Waiting REALLY IMPATIENTLY for the recipe quietly in the wings for you to eat the frozen ones and make more and let us know how you went

LOL Faffa, I will report back, I promise.
