I found this recipe because I had some buttermilk I wanted to use up and I love cinnamon. I had a tough time in making it though. Everything was fine up until I wanted to roll the dough into the jelly-roll type shape. If I rolled too tightly, most of the sugar started coming off, and if I didn't roll tight enough it came apart. I also had troubles cutting them. By cutting them, I had to smush them a bit because I was pressing down, which ment even more sugar fell off. By the time they had cooked, they were seperated spirals rather than a circle wound around itself. However, they still taste very good! So hopefully your rolling skills are much better than mine and you won't have the same problems I did! :)
