These are the easiest and most delicious cinnamon rolls ever. For a change, you can add some raisins that have been soaked in rum to the filling. Then add some rum to the frosting. You might need to add a little more powdered sugar. I have made these for years, and no one tires of them.

These were very easy to make and the flavor was fair but they turned out rather dry to me. They really need more cinnamon filling too.
