This is a recipe that somehow miraculously made the cinnamon rolls so nice and fluffy, a texture that often lacks from home-made buns. Unless you are a more experienced baker and have tried many, many recipes in advance… Our young volunteers added some sparkling effects and in the picture you can see, what came out! Add your own twist.
