  • A few questions:
    1) When does the salt go in?
    2) Does the icing go on the cinnamon buns after they are removed from the oven and are cooled?
    3) Can this recipe be successfully halved?
    4) Should the dough be kneaded or should a mixer be used in the recipe? I mixed by hand and the dough was very dry and didn’t want to stick together. Also, it did not rise at all, despite having yeast that doesn’t expire until October 2014.
    5) It would be helpful to have some kind of a time guideline (i.e., bake for 20 – 30 minutes or until golden brown on top)

    I’m waiting for them in the oven now, but think I may have failed on this no-fail recipe!
