How to Cut Cinnamon Rolls

I have tried a few different ways to slice the cinnamon rolls I make for my family and I think I finally found my favorite way.

Yes, some people say to use floss. I tried it and it was just a mess. Maybe I wasn't doing something right, but I couldn't get it to cut in a clean line.

While a serrated knife works really good, it still manages to "smash" the rolls. The last recipe I created, Mini Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, I pulled out my electric knife. It worked perfectly!

Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

Refrigerated crescent rolls are another great way to cut down on the cooking time when making cinnamon rolls like I do with my French Toast Cinnamon Rolls.

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls using Biscuits; that’s right biscuits. Two cans of refrigerator biscuits turned into cinnamon rolls. Delicious!

Are Cinnamon Rolls a Breakfast Food?

Cinnamon rolls are primarily considered a breakfast or brunch food due to their sweet nature and association with morning pastries. While they are often served for breakfast alongside coffee or juice, their deliciousness isn't limited to mornings.

They can be enjoyed at any time of day as a dessert or snack. Some people, including myself, enjoy them as a sweet treat all day long!
