Do we ever tire of trying new cinnamon roll recipes? This is isn't that much different than any other dough recipe but you may have never tried to put cornstarch in your filling. It helps the sugar and cinnamon to stay on the dough while it bakes instead of ending up in the pan....
and we all love the filling!
Bake up one pan for your family and share the other with your neighbour and tell them you are thankful for great neighbours!

If you don't have a dough mixer, stir all the ingredients but the flour together and then stir in flour (2 cups to start and then adding until stirring becomes too difficult). Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead in remaining flour.
- Cover the bowl with a plate larger than the opening or cover bowl with a plastic grocery bag.
