20. HINT:

21. Be careful when rolling this dough. If it starts to crack, smooth them. Roll slowly.
22. Also, I found it easier when you slice them, let the slice rest on the knife when moving them to the cookie sheet. If they fall apart a bit, don't fret, just push them back together! They bake up just fine!
23. Makes 3-4 dozen.

These are relly not easy to roll! I had to rolled out the dough on the silicon sheet and used a spatula to lift the dough from the sheet. I also used 2 tablespoon flour more as the dough was too sticky. I had really big eggs, this is maybe the reason but not only...I rolled it out surely thinner.<br/>I divided the dough into two parts and rolled out into two thinner rectangles of 5 to 20 inches. I got 75 pieces of 3 inches each. <br/>I prepared the half of the glaze as this is enough for me.<br/>They came out beautiful and the flavour is delicious.

These were very good. However I did have alot of trouble with rolling the dough! Now you don't have to have cinnamon buns only for breakfast, you can have them for dessert too! Thanks for the recipe Kelly!!!
