What kind of syrup do you use
I used maple syrup in this recipe. You can also use your favorite syrup too! Thanks for visiting.
When you say 2 cans, do you refer to the bigger Grands cinnamon rolls or the smaller/regular Pillsbury size?
I use the regular package of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls that have 8 rolls per package. You need 16 rolls to make this recipe. I will update the recipe card. Thank you for visiting.
Has anyone made a double batch of this? Are there adjustments to cook time? How many people does this serve? Looks yummy thinking of doing a big batch for a family reunion!
So glad I found this! Could you make this at night and bake the next morning?
I'm not sure what the egg mixture would do to the cinnamon rolls. But you could do the prep work the night before. Mix the eggs together with the milk, cinnamon and syrup. I would wait to cut up the cinnamon rolls till morning though…they might dry out too much. Thanks for visiting Morgan!
