Granny’s Caramel Cinnamon Rolls ๐ฏ๐
Description:
Years ago, when most farmers milked cows, cream was often used in baking. My grandmother and mother always made caramel sauce on their cinnamon rolls. I have adapted this recipe for the modern convenience of a bread machine, but have kept all of the old-fashioned taste.
