HOMEMADE OVERNIGHT CINNAMON ROLLS

Homemade overnight cinnamon rolls are easy to prepare for the mornings you want a special breakfast.  Prepare them the night before and let them rise in the refrigerator while you sleep. The next morning you bake them and enjoy them!

Do you have a favorite recipe to make for Christmas morning?  Many years ago I made homemade overnight cinnamon rolls for our breakfast on Christmas morning every year.  I had this great recipe where you put the rolls together on Christmas Eve and then the rolls would rise overnight in the refrigerator.

On Christmas morning, I would take the risen rolls out of the refrigerator and pop them into the oven while we opened our gifts and we would have these amazing overnight cinnamon rolls for breakfast. And then we moved.

Need I say anymore?  This was BEFORE computers.  This was before everyone had the internet in their home.  But more importantly, this was way before my blog started.  My recipe was clipped from a magazine and I lost it in our move to a bigger home.
