What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Test Kitchen Favorites: Zillionth Cinnamon Roll Recipe! Every once in a while, my husband will send me a TikTok video of that 40-year old guy with a quirky idea of how to “tweak” old favorite recipes into amazing new ideas. He’s funny, entertaining, has a Kentucky accent, and isn’t afraid to try something different. Alright, I thought, I’m game and I have a willing guinea pig right here in my own house. I chose a Saturday morning for this little experiment just in case he had a sugar crash and got lazy the rest of the day. How did it taste, you ask. Exactly like a bakery cinnamon roll on steroids. It took us several days to nibble our way through the recipe because, you know, you can’t let all that cinnamon go to waste. In case you’re wondering…..the champagne provided a crisp acidity to cut through the rich, buttery, super-sweetness of the pastry. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
