  1. this was a grrreat receipe
     
  2. Outstanding, classic caramel roll. I followed the recipe as written, only leaving out the pecans. And they are wonderful. The rolls are soft with a good flavor and the caramel is a good, gooey tasty one. They have gone so quickly I will have to make another batch before company comes at the end of the week. Everyone has declared them winners.
     
  3. These are very good - I'd prefer to say 4 1/2 stars, but that's not possible. I think I've been spoiled by Olga Drozd's other excellent recipes. I followed the recipe for ingredients and rising, but did halve it, keeping the proportions. I felt that though very flavorful, the buns were a little too firm for my expectations, and the syrup was a bit too thin. Perhaps I should have cooked it just a little after it reached the boiling point. Still, very good, and there are happy people here this morning. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
     
  4. Pleasant classic taste. I forgot to let it rise the second time in the topping, but it turned out nontheless just less gooey than it probably would've been. The glaze on it looks real pretty. I cut them in half before cooking and added extra filling for my sweet tooth. I think these, without the rising in the topping, would be a great plate for a party
