It's a really good recipe if you don't have yeast. I added a tablespoon of sugar and a couple shakes of cinnamon to the batter to lessen the biscuity taste. I also made a powdered sugar frosting with cinnamon added for that ooey gooey touch. If I'd had yeast I could have made fluffy, cinnabon-esque rolls, but I didn't, so considering that these are the best cinnamon rolls I could have made!
