Cinnamon Rolls

My adopted mother, Margaret mentioned how lovely Cinnabon rolls are.  I think she had it America when she visited her brother-in-law.  I suddenly thought I have forgotten how nice they were.  It was an absolute treat when I had them in Manila.  I searched for a Cinnabon-like recipe online and came across this.
It came out perfectly--and was just as nice as the authentic one!
