Cinnamon Rolls (Check your ingredients)

Today I decided to take my bread maker out of the storage cabinet and make (for the first time) homemade cinnamon rolls.  I gathered my ingredients for the dough and placed them all in my bread maker and turned it on to do its thing.

My son gets so excited when we do new things and he couldn't stop checking the little window to see what was happening in there.  An hour and 20 minutes later, the machine beeped and it was on to the cutting board to roll out the dough and spread it with butter, cinnamon and sugar.  Next we rolled the dough and cut into circles, put it in the greased baking pan to rise for an hour.

Hour's up and now it's time to put those babies in the oven for 20-25 minutes.  So exciting I can't wait to try them.  The timer goes off and they're ready to glaze.  For some reason though, the glaze is clumping up and not thining out.  I pour it over some and go for the taste.  Ummm, not the soft, sweet cinnamon rolls I was expecting.  I check the container and I guess in my rush to finish these off, I used Corn Starch instead of Powdered Sugar.  Oh no!   I quickly take them out of the baking pan and mix a batch of glaze (using the sugar of course) and pour it over the rolls. 

Now we're talking.  Soft, warm, sweet cinnamon rolls just like I imagined.  So easy to make but please make sure you take out the sugar and not the starch!
