anyone with a better recipe?

[duchessisa]

My daughter L O V E S my home made cinnamon rolls. I mail ordered some they were expensive wood shavings bound with cinnamon...I am sure of it. I am wondering if any of you have an easier worth while recipe?
I use Bette Hagmans pizza dough recipe, add some vanilla and 1/4 C sugar, spead it over a greased sheet of wax paper and chill/freeze for 1/2 hr. in a small bowl I mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, butter and a bit of warm water. This makes a soupy mixture I can easily spread over the slightly firmed dough. Now here is were it gets *interesting*. With a large spatule (and the dexterity of a gifted person, hell bent on making a yummy treat, by God!!)I lift the edge of the wax paper and use the spatule to scrape the dough. The idea is to help the dough roll over onto itself untill it is rolled up. It takes a LOT of help! Bake in the freezer for an hour. leaving the wax paper on cut the nearly frozen roll into slices, peal the paper and us the spatula to move the rolls into the pan-fit simi loosely to allow to raise cover with foil and bake! They are yummy, moist, chewy,and everything they are meant to be, but they sure are work. So I only make them 2-3 times a year. Help?

Since I was a toddler it's been a tradition to have cinnamon rolls and watch the Macy's Parade every Thanksgiving morning. The past few years I've forgone the cinnamon rolls, but it's just not the same. I don't have a tried and true, but if I find one I'll post it here. I've got three weeks.

I found this recipe on about.com http://autism.about.com/cs/gfcfdiet/ht/cinnamonrolls.htm. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising.

I tried the recipe above from the BC children's hospital website. They are fantastic!!! The dough rolled out just like wheat flour dough and they tasted superb. My non-celiac husband ate two and my celiac son ate 3! I did leave out the raisins, though because people in my house think they are being murdered if I try to put raisins in anything. I also used less butter and brown sugar.

Happy baking!

Thanks for the recipe. I wonder if the dough can be partially baked and frozen and then baked to finish when you're ready to eat them. I'll give 'em a try.

I found it when googling around after following the original link. I might try those myself. I may use the sorghum/cornflour blend that Carol Fenster uses. I made a GF birthday cake for my son and it was awesome. I had made that same cake earlier as a test with the Bette Hagman featherlight mix and I felt like it was a bit gritty tasting.

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the link!
They sound delicious, as does the swedish apple pie. My daughter will be so excited when I tell her that I can make her both these recipes now!

Could someone with better internet talents than me, please find the recipe mentioned above and copy it to this page. I have tried the links and the search key and am having no luck. Thanks. ~Duchess

You're not doing anything wrong Duchessisa. The site appears to be broken; it keeps redirecting to here.

Since this discussion came up (holy crap, was that a year ago already?), I found this recipe that I like a lot better.

Here is the cinnamon roll recipe:

If allergic to corn products there is a recipe for confectioner's sugar: 1 cup sugar and 1 tbsp potato starch. I believe you would put in food processor.
