My great grandmother, Frances Bercher, was famous for her cinnamon rolls. She made these sweet, doughy buns for kaffeeklatsch, when the women of the family would bring their children and gather for kaffee (German for coffee) and klatsch (a bit of gossip). I've taken her recipe and made it my own, carrying on the cinnamon roll tradition for my family. Don't be daunted by the process, baking your own cinnamon rolls from scratch is simple and this recipe foolproof. This recipe takes about 3 - 3 1/2 hours, but I've included the option to let the rolls rise overnight in the fridge so you don't have to spend so much time preparing them in the morning. The cinnamon rolls are best eaten just after coming out of the oven, but will also be delicious stored in the fridge and reheated the next day. Just make sure to spoon over the glaze immediately before serving.
