Today I decided to make chef Michael Smith's cinnamon rolls as part of the foodtv.ca's november cooking club challenge. I have only ever made cinnamon rolls once before, on a camping trip. Needless to say these looked and tasted MUCH better. Since I am a student I do not have the most luxurious kitchen, so some challenges I ran into with this recipie were no rolling pin and no stand mixer. So I had to use some creativity, I used a wooden spoon to mix the batter and then moved to my hands to finish the kneading. As for the rolling pin, I came up with a great alternative: an english cucmber! All in all this was a fun challenge, I stuck to his recipie but added walnuts for a delicious crunch. I am sure my rugby friends will be thrilled with their breakfast treat at our tournament on saturday!
