Notes: This bread is a fun one to serve; guests can pull apart their own roll. One Christmas at Mother's, Dianna had promised to bring the bread. She wanted to finish baking these rolls at Mother's so that they would be hot for the meal.
Uncle Ralph and Aunt Mildred (Gilpin) were visiting that year, so naturally we all wanted to make a great impression. Unfortunately, Mother was using the oven for baking several other dishes as well. Dianna put her rolls into the hot oven to finish baking them alongside of Mom's dishes, but the rolls never quite rose. Instead, they seemed to flatten out into blobs of dough.
To serve them, she had to separate each roll and put all of them onto a platter. Mother served the meal buffet style around her kitchen bar. When Uncle Ralph came through the line, he said "What are these? Fried chicken?" Mildred (as wives will do) quickly shushed Ralph and whispered in her stage voice, "They're cinnamon rolls!"
Dianna gave one of her slow-burn looks. To this day, we tease her about her "fried chicken."
