Do-Da'S
Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls with a flaky, buttery crust, infused with cinnamon and sugar, perfect for a comforting breakfast or sweet snack for all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour and Crisco until blended, then roll out on a floured surface like making a pie crust.
- Cut the rolled dough into 3 x 3-inch square pieces.
- Sprinkle each square with cinnamon and sugar according to taste.
- Place 1 teaspoon of butter onto each square.
- Roll up each square and place on a cookie sheet, 1 inch apart.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, consider using cold butter instead of room temperature. You can substitute the Crisco with an equal amount of unsalted butter if preferred. If you want to experiment, add a pinch of nutmeg for additional flavor or use brown sugar instead of white for a richer taste. Remember to not overwork the dough to maintain its tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
These treats are delightful on their own, but they pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. For a fun twist, serve them alongside the Super Cheese Ball for a sweet and savory snack platter. You can also dust them with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch or offer a side of fruit preserves for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake, allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling it out to ensure it's pliable and easy to work with.
Can I add other spices or flavors?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative by adding other spices such as nutmeg, ginger, or even vanilla extract to the dough for added flavor. You can also experiment with different types of sugar, like brown sugar or even coconut sugar, to create unique variations of this recipe.
What if I don't have Crisco?
If you don't have Crisco on hand, you can replace it with an equal amount of unsalted butter or margarine. This will give you a slightly different texture but will still yield delicious results. Alternatively, vegetable shortening can also be used in place of Crisco.
