Hi, Juno. So sorry you had trouble with the buns. Did you weigh the flour? It’s always the preferred way. Using a cup measure can change the amount of flour used because each of us measures flour differently, especially if you spoon in the flour. I wouldn’t decrease the amount of buttermilk, because it contains acid that reacts with the leaveners to help the dough rise.

Regarding the dough flattening when you cut, two things: You can chill the dough for a bit to firm up. (I usually do this in the freezer), and use a serrated knife. That way you don’t have to press down on the dough; the knife does all the work.

I had trouble with these buns. The dough was way too wet and sticky. Once I finally got them rolled up, the log started to flatten out and was tricky to slice. I will try starting with 3/4 cup of buttermilk next time. The addition of ground cloves was great though.

[J. Okawa] I loved the taste of these cinnamon buns. They weren’t the neatest little spirals as depicted in the picture, but I forged ahead and decided to bake them regardless. They were still delicious…my husband ate the entire pan! I’d do a test run of this recipe before trying it out for company brunch, but the results, even if you run into trouble with the dough, is scrumptious. And right out of the oven…fantastic.

I have this cookbook plus Baker’s Illustrated. Every recipe I have ever tried including these cinnamon rolls is fantastic. Try the coconut cake–just the best.

[Bonnie Depew] A quick and easy alternative to the traditional cinnamon roll—perfect for when you want the taste but don’t have the time. The biscuits were moist and tender and the filling had just the right combination of cinnamon and cloves for a delightful taste.

[Paige Gilbert] These were fabulous. I made them right before a meeting in which everyone was on a diet, and they were gone in seconds. This is the perfect cinnamon roll recipe for people who don’t have time to let them rise, and they’re so good! Next time I might add pecans or something to the filling.
